The whole concept of taking a life is alien to me, so someone who can take the lives of many is utterly incomprehensible.
For me, those cowards who kill using devices of mass destruction, such as bombs and grenade, are the biggest cowards. To kill indiscriminately those that you don't even know is a henious act against humanity, and those who commit such acts have given up the right to be called human.
Man's greatest strength is his compassion, and forgiveness. If more people forgave, there would be less strife in the world. Compassion means you should look after those around you as well as yourself.
For example, Dion is a dick, but I would not wish him to suffer, even though he is a dick. Knowing he is a dick is punishment enough for him, and we must show compassion because he cannot help being a dick.

Both. Too many people die needlessly, from many different reasons.
For example, which is worse? Someone who dies from a terrorist attack or someone who dies because the medicine needed to save their life was withheld due to the expense?
People die from terrorism. People die from keeping the peace. People die for no good reason.
Life is precious. It is so easy for those in power to forget that we each have a limited time on this planet of ours, and their compunction to press a button to wipe out thousands of innocents comes too easily for them.
In the past, war was fought one on one, yet today we have weapons that can kill hundreds of thousands, and even millions. Such devastation is a travesty.
Let's hope that those in power can keep their hands away from those little buttons that can wipe out half of humanity.

Look for Obama to surrender if we take a good left to the ribs stateside.
That's the prevailing opinion here, at least among the the sentient crowd.
