Well, I was sure you'd try to justify those attacks (and conventional raids on other cities like Tokyo or Dresden) and I'm sure Bin-Laden and co. will justify attacking the World Trade Centre and certainly the Pentagon. I could just say "using passenger planes to bomb the Pentagon will always kill civilians." That doesn't mean I think those raids shouldn't have been carried out. I just don't see the point of demonizing the enemy and pretending that our side doesn't engage in similar tactics in many cases. Maybe many people do need to demonize the enemy, politicians certainly seem to think so....
