Why don't you answer any of my questions?

Why don't you answer mine?

Here's a direct question you have so far refused to answer.

What, if any, is the philosophical or political difference between a suicide bombing on a bus in Israel and the 9/11 suicide attack on the World Trade towers?

what was Shock and Awe

I don't necessarily approve of it, but in its intent it was not a pure attempt to kill civilians, but a targeted campaign against an enemy's military and political targets. Civilian deaths were an unfortunte side effect. Whereas in the suicide bombings you celebrate, civilian deaths are the whole object.

But even so, let's say that Shock and Awe was totally unjustified. How does that help your argument in favor of the Palestinian suicide bombers? Even if the US had engaged in a totally unacceptable act, does that excuse or justify the Palestinian suicide bombings, which you have still refused to condemn? Perhaps you will explain that.
