I've been working so hard to not do that. I want to do it. My heart wants them both eradicated from the planet.
But I read a lot of Thich Nhat Hanh many years ago, and he talks a lot about prayer. I remember in particular one essay about how wrong it was for Bush to pray that the USA be successful in the war in Iraq. He said you cannot pray to kill your enemies. It's just wrong.
I struggled with that, and still struggle with it. But I don't pray for them to die. I do pray that they fail to do what they want to do, and that good people will stop them.

I think it's a good middle ground.
