Flap:

The problem with the Clinton Speech is that it will be used by the Bin Ladin types to justify what they are doing. He is an ex-president and he should not be making statements which amount to we are paying for our evil past acts. At a time like this he should shut up or be very positive.

As for his comments about understanding the muslims, I agree we do need to understand, but understanding does not necessarily lead to better relations. For example, I have studied a lot about Hitler and I understood that he was pure evil and needed to be destroyed. I think I understand the moslem fundamentalists. What I think I understand is that they want to destroy us. If this is the case, we need to kill them first.

Clinton would be trying to change their minds,which is far different than understanding them. If you understand them you realize that you can't change their minds. They are like the militant right militia in this country, their minds are made up and they don't want to be confused with the facts. By the way, even if there were some justification for the attack, as a matter of self preservation we would need to take strong action.
