to call it quits and pull every soldier, sailor and airman we have

defend ourselves.

Golda Meier has been quoted as saying, "We can forgive them for
killing our children, but we can never forgive them for making us
kill there's". We are fighting an enemy with different values than
ours. We need to adjust to that.
I'm not sure I get this quote... that's seems to be one of the most
convoluted rationales for revenge I've heard - but I must be missing
an obvious point. Please explain. Seriously
(I did some editing to get the quote and the comment separated)


I hardly speak for Golda or the nation of Israel but I think she means that
it is easier to forgive evil than to forgive being forced to do evil.
