re: there are circumstances under which I might engage in terrorism.
give me an example of conditions that would make it ok for you personally either to blow up or send someone to blow up a bus full of women and children and then go and celebrate the success.
I really would like to hear that.....


Albert, any time my city or my country were under attack by an enemy, I would do whatever was necessary to stop them including blowing up civilians. My attitude would be that those civilians are potential entrants into their armed forces and present a very real threat to myself and my countrymen.

I would not have a second thought or a moment of remorse. And I doubt any of you out there would do differently should your country, your city, your family et al be threatened and/or under attack.

In such circumstances, I think the veneer of civility lifts very quickly.
