certainly not-i have never been pro the actual events of sept 11-you made the leap from grievance to justification not me-nevertheless the fact that it soes not occur to you to even excavate the nexus of factors involved, not to even ask why a peoples could wish harm on you, is to me very telling.

Unbelievable. So if anyone is poor, marginalized, or exploited -- in other 
words, the vast majority of the world's population -- they are justified in 
killing thousands of fellow citizens to air their complaints?  (Bomb us and 
we'll give you money, bomb us and we'll give you power, bomb us and we'll 
give you our first born, bomb us and we'll make special T-shirts with your 
name on them, etc.)

Perhaps if YOUR loved ones die, you'll change this silly tune. Otherwise, you 
will continue to rationalize with this kind of negligent
thought, not considering the implications of making it a universal law -- as 
in categorical imperative -- for all humanity.
