So I don't think any of this is at all
> interesting in the light of current events.

The moral character of Samson's final act had been touched on. A
couple of comments suggested that it would have been judged
differently in ancient times than it would be today, or that it was
more in line with the values of the Old Testament than those of the
New Testament. It was in light of this discussion that I brought up
current events in the region.
