terrorizing the terrorists,

[RLBosley]

The actions are the same, but the motives are what set the two apart.

Like I said, I would never strike first with terroristic measures. But I would most certainly end those kinds of tactics with a heaping helping of it in return

I happen to be results oriented. I want the most effective resolution to a problem. My preference is to walk away without confrontation. If that's not an option, then I like to reason out problems.

...

But how do you reason with insanity? How do you reason with a wild donkey?

James, I understand what you are saying, but is a "ends justify the means" attitude the right way for a Christian to think? I would have to say no.

Don't we all.

A good reminder that we all always need God's grace as none of us have yet "arrived."
