Atrocities begat atrocities.

[The Lone Liberal]

You kill one of ours and we kill two of yours, then you kill three of ours and we kill four of yours. Each killing a little more horrendous, each killing accompanied by a little louder shouting and so it goes until the world is in chaos and we stand amongst the smoking ruins hacking at one another over some esoteric philosophy whose dogmas we rend asunder long ago.

1. It would seem so

This has been the scenario for years between the Palestinians and the Iraelis. An endless cycle, until real leaders come forward.

2. Violence breeds violence...

you'd think they could figure that out.

3. Yes "an eye for an eye"

seems much more popular than "turn the other cheek" these days. Which IMHO is the more courageous stance.

4. Basically, what we've got here is gang warfare.

Morally, it's no different than what happened in South Central LA.

Instead of red and blue bandanas, it's the American flag.

Instead of "he shot my cousin" it's "he gassed his own people."

Instead of AK's, it's... well.. AK's.

6. It is becoming a war of attribution.

What a crock. Maybe it has been that for some time. The killing needs to stop.
