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

I agree
One thing I find very annoying about americas actions after 9/11 is that the CIA walked around in europe and arrested people that they sent to Guatanamo. Some of my countrymen where sent there, which made me mad. They where innocent but because they where born in some middleseast countries and have been there on vacation, mostly to visit family and so, did they get arrested.
Acctually one football player from Malmö called Behrang Safari got interigated for nearly 8 hours when he came to the USA when he and his team should be on a training camp there. The reason why he was interigated was because he was born in Teheran, Iran.
Such things just make me mad
