should you take revenge for su

An afghan taliban soldier thought ot would be a good idea to get into a cage at kabul zoo with a lion and taunt it. The obvious happened and he was promptly killed by the lion. His brother invoked some afghan law of retribution on the lion and threw a grenade in the cage. The explosion did not kill the lion, only knocked out the poor fellas eye but it did put a number of nearby animals into shock and severely deformed the bars of the enclosure.
This, in my opinion, begs the question: Since taunting a large hungry carnivore with nothing between you and it is considered, among normal circles, suicide, is it really worth the trouble of trying to get revenge?
Could this be a case of a darwin award and an honourable mention not only in the same story but also in the same family? Submitted on 05/06/2002
