Renouncing violence

I have heard a lot of talk about Hamas today. Yes, they got elected to head up a Palestinian government. Some talking heads I've heard are saying that Hamas must renounce violence. That sounds like a great goal.

But how about the US government renouncing its gratuitous who-cares-what-the-UN-Security-Council-thinks violence?

How about the US Air Force cease dropping 500lb bombs on Iraqi neighborhoods?

How about the US stop murdering its own citizens - the so-called death penalty?

Let's not just ask Hamas to grow up and quit its antisocial aggression. Let's do it ourselves.
