There are hundreds of places where the Death Penalty is called for, even for eating unclean things, and for lieing with a betrothed woman. God's Law proscribes dertain death for murderers. Even Christ Himself tells Christians to sell their cloaks and buy swords. When the Israeli UN Protectorate executed Eichmann, they had to pass an Ex Post Facto law to provide for his execution. Now, I guess you might say they do have a death penalty of sorts. I guess if you happen to be a Tunisian, and you happen to live near the PLO headquarters, then I guess the penalty is death. --Don Black "...dec-vax!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-pundit!black" VAXmail: PUNDIT::BLACK ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "...accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
