69. I think when you're dealing with

"martyrs", which is only connected to terrorists, the solutions HAVE to be different. When somebody doesn't care if they die, your options become limited (unless you catch them in the act before they can blow themselves up). So, no - I wouldn't support that kind of punishment for "simple" crime - only for terrorists.

I happen to completely agree with your last paragraph. The support for Israel is not merely that we're taking sides. It's that most Americans see what Israel has to put up with on a daily basis and understand this isn't like taking on crime in an American (or European for that matter) city. But the hypocrisy over human rights while people drive around in their suv's and buy all their China based products is just more proof that many people's "aversions" are not to be taken seriously if their morals are so very selective.
