If the easiest way for the politicians to look tough is to kill an innocent human being, then they will. If the easiest way for those who want blood for blood is to kill an innocent human being, then they will do so. And human sacrifice is just one more sacrifice they are willing to make - on the altar of power, on the altar of revenge, on the altar of torture and murder. In the end we need to understand why so many people *want* brutal rulers, and why so many people want blood for blood.
