Why not nuke their villages?

Bowser — 12/3/2005 5:34:18 AM (archived)

Really teach 'em a lesson!!

It seems to me that part of the burden of being civilized is acting civilized, NO MATTER HOW THE OTHER GUY ACTS.

This means a proportionate response.

This "he made me do it" is for children and neocons. And no excuse.

I wonder if the children of neocons get away with that excuse? And yet, they themselves use it all the time.
