Bushbred, you deserve to have the last word.
Oops...

Postscript: Sorry, and thankyou, KatieO. I wasn't aware of the mistake you picked; that was more a typo, in my book.
The mistake I left was much more fundamental.
"Suffice to say, Samaritans were the enemies of the Jews, yet Jesus advocated loving them, on the basis that not all Samaritans were bad people."
This is a very human, and very wrong, interpretation. "To ere is human, to forgive is divine".
The legendary Jesus, I think, realised the only way to stop the vicious, vicious cycle of retribution and counter retribution, was to not only forgive one's enemies, but to love them -not because they may not be bad people, but because it was the only way for peace.
This is a big big ask, and clearly beyond our 2 tame christian contributors to these threads; nevertheless it is absolutely necessary.
Does anyone doubt for one second, that George Bush's retaliation has only caused more hatred, more desire for revenge, more excuse for conflict?
My thanks to everyone for an interesting argument, Cheers, grim.
