Oh definitely. Otherwise that would amount to saying all wars are either 
unjustified or justified categorically.  I'm too Aristotelian to judge events 
from abstract Ideas or all-encompassing moral notions. 

By the way, here's a morbid detail from the WTC attacks: at one point, 
survivors noticed a pink mist rising several stories. it was caused by the 
exploding bodies of those who jumped. Martin Amis mentions this in a recent 
essay, from the Guardian, I believe.
