I said absolutely nothing about "all occasions", there are "occasions" where I'm understanding of the "hammer" (though probably fewer "occasions" than others) however I'm not prepared to say it is executions for homosexuals in the middle east and clearly neither are you.
That was a throwaway line to use emotion to incite reaction on your part and clearly not an actual rationale which seems to me shows a willingness to use gay people as an emotional whip. Just reach for anything and use it as a weapon to move your agenda when you know it really isn't about that.
I think we have seen plenty of the hammer in this region and it is not been proven effective and I think has made less than ideal bad, bad horrible, and horrible into nightmare.
I really don't give a shit about outrage or horrible acts, I've not heard a coherent reason why it is unlikely that we won't further exacerbate the instability as we have done with about every act for decades nor specifically why action on part of the United States is required and regional and certainly world powers are incapable of handling some fundy marauders.
