Live by sword; die by sword

Why am I not surprised?
Unidentified Palestinian gunmen shot dead a senior Hamas activist in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, Palestinian medics and a security source said, in a further escalation of lawlessness in the coastal strip.
They said unknown gunmen shot and killed 25-year old Mohammed Tatar, a senior member of Hamas's military wing, as he was driving near Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh's office in Gaza city.
No one claimed responsibility for the attack.
Separately on Tuesday masked gunmen in the Khan Younis area of Gaza shot and critically wounded another senior member of Hamas's military wing and injured a second Hamas member, witnesses said.
Mounting internal violence in Gaza has been fueled by a power struggle between Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Haniyeh over control of security forces.
Did no one notice that the Palestinians have, in the past 30 years, transformed themselves into a society that kills as a means, an end, a pleasure, a hobby, a threat, a whatever? If you lose your original target, you just find a new one, even if it means chewing your own arm off.

I wonder how the Japanese sees it. The Japanese were just as brutal and stupid in varous ways, like with honor. Until the US taught them how to behave better.
The Palestinians don’t want to change, they wanna roll it up themselves.
I’m sorry feel it, let alone say, but something about this makes me want laugh out loud . . .
Schadenfreude isn’t a pretty sight…..but it’s quite human.
When I hear about these guys getting assassinated, what goes through my head is “Couldn’t be happening to a more deserving bunch!”
It’s really quite amazing the people that came out of the woodworks to criticize Israel’s wall and the election of Hamas as being an indication Bush’s strategy ain’t working. Where are the loudmouths now? I am sure they’ll come out of the shadows the next time we require an ignorant and wrong prediction.
