As I said, this is why Israel should withdraw?

HAIFA, Israel (CNN) -- A suicide bomber set off a massive explosion Sunday at a restaurant in the northern Israeli city of Haifa, killing at least 14 people, police and ambulance sources said. Several hours later, at least four people were wounded in a suicide bombing in the Jewish West Bank settlement of Efrat, settlers said.

I remain confused by those who say that you should respond to violence by doing...nothing. Certainly they may quote Gandhi, who (at least in the movies) said that there were many things he was willing to die for, but nothing he was willing to kill for. Which always struck me as self-righteous rather than realistic. Afterall, Gandhi was protesting against a fundamentally moral empire. His non-violence resistance movement might have met a wholely different end if, say, Hitler had been the opposition.

Police know that a suicidal subject is always dangerous, because by definition, someone who is suicidal is homicidal, and you don't stop a homicidal maniac by talking nice to him.
