Shameful that Americans will cheer the on-camera mass murders of innocents by “smart bombs” while expressing horror at the murder of a single, even if also innocent, on-camera murder by knife.

Perfumed and sober psychopaths…. In the name of democracy.
The important thing, of course, is not the tool, but who does the deed – if the good guys do it, it’s always OK, save for the unfortunate effects it can have on their psyche, about which innumerable articles are published….

John Paul Vann recommends the knife.
John Paul Vann, top US civilian in Vietnam argued that aerial bombardment and sniper fire were ineffective against an occupied civilian resistance. He said that in order to kill an ideological enemy one must first get to know him and then, only after being certain he is the enemy, kill him with a knife; any killing by more impersonal means would only kill the wrong people and strengthen resistance to the occupation.
Vann learned how difficult it is to subordinate a population in their own country, one who can’t retreat, and who would rather die than be dominated by an occupying force that doesn’t want to first know the people they will kill, and can’t wait to go home.

Interesting.
Exactly what I thought when coming across Charles Kraphammer’s column today.

“Charles Kraphammer…” That tickled. Ha! And thank you once again, Mr. Fish; ‘well executed’ cartooning.
