I have been faced with an angry man with a loaded gun before Greg. I know that feeling. No one should experience that.
As have I, and I was certain I was about to die. What does that have to do with the Israeli's right to defend themselves and retaliate?
Suppose terrorists crossed the border into Texas and killed over 100,000 Americans and took another 2,000 as hostages? That would be roughly proportionate. Would you be wringing your hands over possible collateral damage to Mexican children? You live in Houston. Suppose friends of yours were among those killed or taken hostage?
