Doing the only thing they can? Strapping bombs to themselves and blowing up
women, kids, houses and villages? Only thing they can??
I don't care what the world could throw at me, there will *never* come a
time when I would feel justified to strap TNT to myself and go blow up
civilians.
Thus the fundamental difference--these people are what would be called
'fanatics'--not capable of objective, rational thought.
So what's the difference b/w me and these terrorists? I was not brought up
to *hate* a person or a race, but rather rejoice in the differences we offer
one another. I was taught to seek resolution of conflicts. I learned that
there is always 'another side', another way of understanding an issue.
I was taught to *not* hate. These fanatics were taught *to* hate.
A 'Just' war is something I can support, fanatical spreading of terror, not
so much.
Anyway, *if* it were me in charge, I'd call for a time out and put these
spoiled kids in a corner, and to only come out when they're ready to talk.
