So if Reagan hadn't said it would never happen again you'd be fine with amnesty?Shoot to kill rhetoric was intended to say "make it stop"....I really don't have any blood lust....
The point is we've seen this movie before several times...Amnesty for all, with a promise of "it won't happen again, I promise real nice"....after the second or third time, our side is REAL sick of the welshing.....
[I suspect Reagan didn't actually say it would never happen again. But who cares?]
Amnesty is a good way to lower the temp. If it is worth doing again in 10 or 20 year, I have no problem with that.
It's sort of like the biblical concept of jubilee.
