    LOL, has someone watched "Running Man" a few too many times?

    I don't fault you for it, it's one of my favorite Arnold movies....

    The Israeli's wanted to end the suffering of the families. Plus, they did not know for certain that the Muslims had murdered the boys.

    The Israeli's seem to attach emotional significant to bodies. My friends in the Marine Corps feel the same way. All of the hunts for the corpses of American soldiers lost in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam also point to the same human trait.

    To my mind, this is completely insane. My corpse is not me. When I am gone, the only things that will be left of me will be the results of the actions which I took when I was alive and the memories I created in the people whose lives I touched.

    For better or for worse I am not very human. The Israeli's, as a group, are more human. This murderer-for-victim exchange was very popular, politically speaking, in Israel. The Israelis have a significant desire to heal and move on.

    My right brain tries to understand their emotions and sympathize with their pain. My left brain screams out in agony at the stupidity of it all.
