If a scorpion sneaks into your house and bites your child, you kill the scorpion. That's a no-brainer. But if you believe "something like this must never happen again" then you also go out in the yard and kill the other scorpions. You also kill rattlesnakes and black widow spiders, and maybe you even get a new alarm system and a child safety seat for your car. In other words, you do every reasonable thing you can. Imagine telling your wife, "Honey, I know there's that huge scorpion nest out in the yard, but I killed the scorpion responsible. Can you prove that the other scorpions had anything to do with the one that bit little Timmy?"

Also, interesting commentary on same issue...

Good point. Osama is a human, Saddam is a human, and the Iraqi people are human. Get rid of them all.

Hey trust no one--- I live nearby you in Rockville!

Anyhow if a scorpion snuck into my house and bit my son I think I would run screaming from the house and we would have to move or something!! No way I'd kill it......I can't even kill a spider! That is why I got married!!

Wow. Great logic there.

Replace the word scorpion with the word 'terrorist' and I'll bet you'll have the real understanding of what was posted.
