As far as US executions, they reduce our moral standing in the world, but it is still our right. - In terms of morality, it is important to point out that the Commandment 'Thou shalt not kill' is not the proper tranlation of the Hebrew. It is 'Thou shalt not murder'. Quite a difference. - > The Israel/Palestinian struggle is a tragedy viewed from any direction. What is needed is a truly wise person to devise a mutually acceptable solution. Some times a stronger defense just raises the ante. Diplomacy is the solution. - I'm like Reagan: trust but verify, and negotiate from strength. Diplomacy is fine with those provisoes. I'd keep that set of rules as long as the Arabs in general want to remove Israel from the face of the Earth.
