A person isn't heartless for not reveling in warfare, vengeance, bloodlust, etc. As for being in a minority, most of us have been there before. I hope I'm not being oblivious by saying, "Try not to let it get to you."

A minority it may be, but you can add me to it.
It was a summary execution - just like Saddam but without the pointless show trial.
Neither was justice - and neither justifies chest-thumping, whooping and grave-dancing.

I'm just imaging them all dancing around his grave stone with a campfire lit and everything.

Also, this is going to cause even more tension between America and the Middle East.

Yes. All that's happened is one man has been killed - which does nothing for the underlying problem and is the perfect excuse for more nut-jobs to leap up and avenge his death.

I've got to go now. In fact, I'll be more occupied than usual for the next fifty hours, so I may or may not be able to get on WrongPlanet during that time. Either way, I'll see guys later! (Waves, disappears)

What's going to keep you so occupied?

Lordy - is that stuff still around? We played with that at school, as Silly Putty.
Have you tried hitting a blob of it with a hammer? (be prepared to hunt for the bits later, though)
