It strikes me that a lot of people here are the type that never stood up to bullies in school because "violence is bad". Well as a frequent victom of bullies in elementary I can say I sure wish someone bigger and stronger had stood up for me. When I did get big enough and strong enough to stand up to bullies I didn't just do it for me. I did it for those I could feel empathy with as well from having been in a similar situation. Funny how a lot of former bullies became friendly too, but I wasn't willing to join their tormenting others just to be part of a bigger group.

I understand what bullies are about and you don't stopr their bullying by giving them what they want or treating them nicely. Saddam and OBL are far worse than your schoolyard bullies.
