Straight talk...that seems quite reasonable. In other countries, people who try to kill other people are not treated very well. But you don't find many places whee a core segment of the populace vows to rid the world of another segment.
ReplyDeleteYep, reminds me of a saying i can't attribute to anyone off the top of my head:
ReplyDelete"If the Arab put down their guns we'd have peace; if the Israelis did so we'd have war & bloodshed."
or something like that...
Certainly, if the Israelis put them down first...we'd have no Israelis.
