re: #509 SanFranciscoZionist
The rule of law and the free airing of difference is not a sign of weakness. If we give ourselves permission to become savages any time we feel threatened, we will never find it prudent to stop.
Yes. Thank you. If we’re going to act as savage as the terrorists, at what point do we become no better than they are? If we disregard the rule of law in the same way as terrorists, where is the moral difference between a bomb dropped by an F-16 and a bomb set off in a cafe?
