Due process

Hi, Matt!

So we should just assassinate our opponents because they might hurt someone else? Hit someone back first before they hit us?

I didn't think justice worked on a pre-emptive mind-reading basis. I sure wouldn't like to be arrested for battery because I looked like I was angry. But maybe the Arabs are just all so evil that it would be better not to waste the time differentiating between self-defense and terrorism.

If you were an Arab, would this inspire you to believe that an Israeli would respect due process for your people? Or would you likewise defend yourself by shooting first?

Regards--
Mary Anne
