To the Editor:

   Bashar al-Assad should note that Syria and Israel have been at war since 1948 and Israel didn't start it. It's past time that he made peace. Instead, his regime has continued war for decades through its proxies. Does he whine now that Israel hits back? Will the Arab world rally around him while he goes on killing Arabs? The man deserves the same mercy I'd give rabid dog. Kill him quickly (rather than slowly as he has earned), but kill him before he kills again.
