Fighting fire with fire. How do the car bombers like it now that they are targeted in the same despicable manner they target civilians.

There is nothing despicable about the manner. Terrorists are scum because they deliberately target the innocent, not because of their choice of delivery vehicle. This man was not innocent. There is nothing to question in him getting his deserts, it is mere self defense and justice. There is no moral equivalence in the matter. Morality attaches to guilt and innocence, not cars or rifles.

I was thinking much the same thing.

What would happen if Israel started targeting innocent Palestinians after every attack against innocent Israeli men, women, and children? Don't give me the easy answer. LOL. I mean besides the world-wide outrage of the liberal press.

Let's say Israel told Yasser Arafat that there would be an eye-for-an-eye exchange for every attack against Israeli civilians. You kill twenty of ours, we bomb a school room with twenty students.

No civilized society would ever do such a thing . . . but one has to wonder if it might propel an empowering Palestinian public to do something to stop the outrages inflicted on Israel on a daily basis. The Paleo-terrorist-loving-citizens just stand idly by now . . . when they're not cheering in the streets BUT IF THEY KNEW THEIR CHILDREN WOULD BE KILLED EVERYTIME AN ISRAELI CHILD WAS KILLED one would think they might feel a bit differently.
