I don't think he should have to do either.

I'm beginning to think that's because you live in a different world from me. Where I live leadership is required.

Ultimately the only individuals responsible for those lives where the ones who took them.

If someone raped my daughter I would only blame the rapist. But there are things I can teach her to reduce her chances of being raped. I am a negligent parent if I don't teach her those things.

We could have done some things to lesson the likelihood of 9/11. Recognizing that there are monsters in the world who only respect the willingness to react violently is one of those things. Lobbing cruise missiles into empty tents was not.

I agree to disagree with you. Have a great weekend.

Shalom.

Perhaps. But more likely I just don't see the world the same way you do.

What you call leadership I call demagoguery. But you're right, where you and I live it is required. I just don't like it.
