Trying to track down a quotation/poem, reportedly by "Lao Tse, 3rd c. BC" (but Lao Tse was 6th BC), it goes something like: "He who delights in the killing of men [will never come to any good]" Heard it mentioned today on NPR in connection with all those just super laser-guided things we have for killing people. Anyone recognize it? Paul proberts@neon.stanford.edu

Anyone recognize it? I suspect that this quote applies quite well to many of the folks running this war... you have to wonder when general whats-his-name has the entire press room laughing while he is showing the footage of bombs hitting their targets.
