Anyone notice that the russian guy was willing to play along until Sayidd said they killed one of the Others? His reaction was to immediately attack and try to kill Sayidd.

Michael killed Anna Lucia after she said she couldn't keep killing anymore. And remember Mister Eko pointedly telling Ben that his killing of the Others the night the plane crashed, "had been a mistake"?

When Jack and the guys confronted the Others the first time (when they went after Michael) the guy Sawyer called Zeke said that if they killed any of Zeke's group, then that would mean all-out war.

Before the woman on the boat got shot, she said, "If you shoot and kill me, we will kill all of you. Every last one of you."

Alex commented to Jack that the only thing they really freak out about is the killing of one of their own.

And they would rather die than be taken prisoner.

Why? Have they been "programmed" to react that way? Or did Dharma do something to them (commit some atrocity) during their "purge" or "war."
