    Dunno. Gives people more to scream about, I guess. Impersonal warfare always frightens people. The same way that an assassination is frowned upon yet it can save the lives of, literally, millions. What if Hitler had been assassinated during the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923? Or if Stalin had been taken out in 1946? One bullet and no need to carpet bomb an entire nation. Yet the divine right of kings attitude that it is better to slaughter a few hundred thousand to a few million civilians and cannon fodder peasant troops instead of taking out the head of state prevails, even today. Tyrants could care less how many troops are killed, they only worry when their own mangy hides are in danger. If they know, for a fact, that the first thing that will occur is a concerted effort to assassinate them, they’ll likely cause less trouble.

    And how is it falling straight down? Where’s the angular travel from the "dropper"’s forward momentum? ;-)

    @hawgowar – Leaders don’t like killing other leaders because it might be their turn next if they openly set a precedent.

    I’m reminded of the scene from the movie “The Flintstones”…the one in the park…“PTERADACTYL!”

    It’s sad when people can’t enjoy the comics without bringing politics into them…

    Maybe Julius Caesar’s real crime was affirming that the citizens of Rome could keep their republic if they liked it.

    The main problem is that we have smart bombs and dumb people.

    No amount of artifical intelligence is ever going to overcome real stupidity.

    Now, more on topic: an old childhood rhyme:

    Birdie, birdie in the sky, why did you do this in my eye?

    Birdie, birdie in the sky, boy am I glad cows can’t fly.

    “God said Do Not Kill and He means it.”1 Samuel 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.Numbers 15:36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me. – Luke 19:27Joel 3:9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:Joel 3:10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I [am] strong.Matt. 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth, I came not to send peace, but a sword.

    “However, since I have never heard the commandment in its original Hebrew, I can not say objectively which is correct.”Just use Hollie’s method. Twist the bible verses to whatever you want.

    “And Obuma did carry it on— but that is OK because he is the Obamisiah—,guess you forgot that fact ,didnt you weed ?”So what’s your point? Anything Bush did is now okay, because of what happened afterwards? Do you apply the same “logic” to Hitler? Judas? Anyone?

    Actually, the correct translation is ‘you shall not murder’, not ‘you shall not kill’. Not all killing is murder, just as not all food is pizza.
