G'kar, i'm blushing. thank you for your support
yorick, mandela was a terrorist and killed people. and yes, he may well be forgiving and compassionate now, but he wasn't when he was advocating violence and killing people. but we don't want to get off the point here.
diogenes has hit the nail on the head. criminals of any description don't respect the laws of the land (mine or any other). they break them. i don't always respect the laws either, but the difference is, i don't break them. if i do, i expect to be brought to justice. i may well try to evade it, but i know i'll just be running. the current situation is no different. a crime has been committed, and justice not genocide is the answer.
