if they result in the same outcome or in our case the unjust occupation kills 100 times the people , what is the difference ?
are you saying hitler was better than a terrorist because he used gas chambers instead of terrorism ? the millions he killed doesn't matter , a terrorist is worse for killing one man

bringing up race as an issue on middle east discussions is silly..

and do you think everyone shares the same list of justified killings ?

nobody said or implied that in any way, glad you feel that way though..

You can't paint everything with the same brush, Smokey.

if you believe that is my opinion then you obviously have gotten your lines crossed.
What you just said is exactly the opposite of what you are arguing. I am not painting anything with any brush. what i said was eye for an eye is bad advice , and letting obama draw your lines for you without your permission but on your behalf is handing him way too much power.
I am interested in your list of justified killings though..if you got the cahones.
What i am saying is , your list right now doesn't matter and nobody else's does either. All that matters is obamas list.. and that maybe we should let the judicial system we have designed to deal with these questions make the list.. That is how we currently do it.. I live in texas ,we have the death penalty, it is a process, there is evidence , there is a jury of your peers if you choose, there is dignity. we choose this process , we could simplify it by shooting them in the head in the middle of the night , but we have learned that having this process makes us a better people..
