Just an FYI Lynn. The Martin Luther King quote is incorrect. He did not say, "I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy."
Here's the full paragraph.
"Let us move now from the practical how to the theoretical why: Why should we love our enemies? The first reason is fairly obvious. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction."
Here's a link to the full sermon.
