Fear

The Americans did it.*
The British are also doing it.**
So do you when a cockroach invades your room.
Everyone does it.

Is it in human nature to eliminate what one fears?
Is it a reflex action, or a conditioned reaction?
What if what you fear will not hurt you?
What will you do?
What will I do?
What did I do?

*elimination of Saddam Hussein, aka Iraq war
**killing on seeing a terrorist, or a potential terrorist
