If you consider the analogy of a mad dog in the park, frothing at the mouth, nashing it's teeth together. Do you poke that dog in the eye and tell it "If you bite me, I'll poke you again" or offer it a chunk of meat in the hopes it'll leave you alone?
Then again, that's oversimplification (and a loathesome analogy). I'm sure they have more complexed reasons than what the layman can read off the surface. |
