Anger is a bad counsellor
Reader comment on item: Samir Kuntar and the Last Laugh
Submitted by Sebastian von Berenburg (Germany), Jul 21, 2008 at 08:05
Kuntar is not an idiot. He knows that his life isn't worth one red cent. But what would be the consequences of killing this man for Israel? More dead civilians, more dead men, women and children. I ask you, Mr. Pipes: Who will laugh last?
