OK, another misunderstanding on the internet then. You have had a few opportunities to expound on "what you really meant". Absent that, all I have are your words. Have a great day.
There was nothing to expound on. My words were clear and concise. The Israelis are afraid of continued attacks, so they are excessive in their actions. The slave holders were afraid of more rebellions, so they were excessive in their actions. Steve's article in a nutshell. What is your issue? Do you think that the Israeli destruction of Gaza is not excessive?
What's that got to do with anything that I wrote?
"fear breeds excess" = "a riot is the language of the unheard". etc. hope that helps.
Doesn't help at all. You're two quoted phrases are not equal and don't have anything to do with what I wrote.
