Well you can't threaten them with anything even if you could find all the pieces. Maybe they'll think twice if they know their loved ones will take the heat if they "splode".

My favorite word there was "unfair", as if life is anything but.

"Fair" is not very multicultural, cuz it assumes both sides have a similar concept of justice.

It would appear that Likud and Hamas have very similiar visions of justice. Before 911, I believed most Americans found that vision foreign, now I know better.

I think "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life" is one thing most cultures can find fair. It remains, as it was in Hammaurabi's day, the lowest common denominator of justice.

Anyone euphemistically calling the suicide bombers "martyrs" is obviously not in it for justice or fairness, though.
