Terror? What terror?

I guess it depends on whether one happens to be suicide bomber.Confused Fall


My position is that once you accept violence as a legitimate means to an end,that ultimately there are no rules. Terrorism is legitimate tool of war. It ALWAYS works. It is especially the utterly predictable response of the weak against the strong.

I watched the attacks of 9/11 with horror and anguish for the those poor people in the towers, but without the slightest surprise. Given America's jingoism,it was only a matter of time.* This is not a moral argument,but historical, pragmatic and political.

*Since 1950,the US has been engaged in over FIFTY military actions. If you go back to the foundation of the Republic,the numbesr are in the hundreds.
