5. What?? I wouldn't address that statement really beside saying this..
You do realize you justify the 9/11 that way. don't you?
No, I do not justify anything with my statement. My statement stands as is.
I did not agree or condone the actions. Understanding something does not condone the action or make a sympathetic ear. As far as the 9/11 situation that is TOTALLY different. The palestinians have a fair claim to the territories in dispute. They are fighting a war within their own country. The 9/11 attackers attacked a sovereign nation outside of their borders. Saying it is the same thing is akin to the U.S. not having the right to the revolutionary war and the southern states not having the right to fight the civil war. What goes on within a countries borders, by it's citizens is largely an internal matter.
My statement was:
"5. As far as the tactics used, the car bombings etc, again, while I do not agree ever with killing civilians or with terrorist type actions, I understand that in many of their minds they are using the available materials to get as much damage done as they can. They can not fight against tanks and machine guns with rocks and sticks."
