fit2rule:" What is the rarest substance in all the universe? Life. "

I would say "Intelligence." There's an abundance of life on Earth but not much intelligence.

There often is. If someone has wantonly killed before, (s)he'll do it again. One can allow them to continue or stop the activity. I have little to no mercy for someone intent on homicide. Such people are not usually willing to sit down and talk their problems through.

Until now I didn't realize that you were laying out a justification for terrorists, jihadis et al to strike against nation-states. Thank you for that clarification.
