For one thing I never said it was OK to kill innocents. All I said is that it will happen regardless of how careful they are.
Since I am not a Christian, (made that decision in my first year at a theological seminary), I am not too concerned how a semi-mythical person would have acted or reacted to something he could not have even conceived of over 2000 years ago. The Taliban were given a choice, they made theirs and are now having to deal with the consequences. Mind you I did not expect those heretical Islamics (heretical to Islam that is)to decide differently, they and al-queda are almost Siamese twins. larry -- Larry C.
