You know, Jesus said the poor will always be with us... I guess He could also have said that there will also be evil people with us too... but NO He didn't say that....
Even so, I think it is wrong theology to think that we can eliminate evil in the world thru the death penalty or thru pre-emotive military strikes. I feel that sometimes, we do let Hollywood enter our decision making too much... you know, get rid of the bad guys etc.
Having said that, the bible does say, as someone pointed out, that we should fear the government because they do bear the sword.... Romans 13.
You know, the other thing to consider in all of this, life is precious... but forgiveness before a God who will ultimately judge us is even more precious.
