I always found it interesting that, despite some commandments in the Torah that tell us to kill people for various reasons, we always seem to find a way around it - like saying that amalek no longer exists, so there is no one for us to kill. Or finding excuse after excuse to avoid actually giving someone capital punishment.
And yes, I have thought about Shimshon in that way. Not quite sure what my take is on it.

If anyone else has any thoughts, however...
