RA,
I wish you wouldn't apologize so much. Nothing wrong in simplistic thinking. Makes life easier to handle I guess

What you call simplistic thinking is something we are very much guilty of, as so many times we tell our leaders what they should be doing, not taking into account the 2nd and 3rd steps or various undercurrents unknown to the person in the street.
"Hamas shooting rockets again? Go into Gaza and wipe them out!!"
"Iran wants to get rid of us? Lets nuke them!!"
So easy to say when one is angry and not responsible for the results of such actions
Last week I took some time off the forum, one of the reasons being I couldn't quite trust myself to control my anger.
Eph 4:26 (ESV) "Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger" - is a very appropriate verse under such conditions.
What it said to me was "If you can't control your anger, at least don't spread it around"
