Shocked that people in the U.S. can look past the time-honored American values of cost-effectiveness and vindictiveness.  I didn't see this as an issue that Americans would ever swing on, but it's nice to see a majority of us seem to disapprove of state-sponsored revenge-killing.

What, state-sponsored revenge killing like that which occurred following the entry by the United States into the Second World War in the aftermath of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbour?

This is such a stupid ******* comparison that I don't even know where to begin.
