Here we go again. Boko Haram has proven itself to be sub-human scum. Roaches. Vermin, etc., etc. The women and young girls they grabbed the other day are already raped and dead or soon to be. The boys are either dead, soon to be dead, or future Boko Haram.

So...my intervention is cluster bombs and moabs. The hostages are already dead. It's time for the vermin to be dead as well.

Wonder what you will. Call me what you will.

Clearly, you're not a believer in redemption.

Au contraire, mon frere. I strongly believe in redemption. But here's the thing about redemption. It only matters to humans. The beasts don't need no fucking redemption. The beasts are honorable and have integrity. It's built in.

Humans on the other hand often require redemption, and also by their frequent inhumanity towards other humans and beasts, by their proof of being sub-human, some have disqualified themselves from redemption.

Well that's an improvement. The day before yesterday I was below the capacity for slippage, eh?

There you go again, whipping out the anti-Semitism card.

If that neighbor you referred to was someone who knew his presence was going to be an issue in my neighborhood before he moved back here, when there are other places where he could go live in peace? If I had already done all I reasonably could to broker peace between him and other neighbors and supported him financially for decades? If his SOP response to every confrontation to anothers aggressive behavior was roll in and seize property? If he had written books about his belief that only total decimation, not negotiation, is the path to peace. (Constantly reinforcing the resolve of his enemies.)

If it simply never ends with this guy no matter what anyone does?

Ummmm................Yes, eventually I would grow tired of this obnoxious assholes relentless drama and tell him he's on his own. Damn right I would.

A quick superficial analysis that gets to the right answer is called a heuristic. Works for me. A good-enough theory of where you're coming-from removes most of the 'challenge' I spoke of.
