One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.... Gosh do you remember the words: “These gentlemen are the moral equivalents of America’s founding fathers.” Unfortunately almost all countries see "terrorism" that they approve of as something other than terrorism. If we weren't all so inclined, and so guilty, it would be much easier to be morally outraged, for me anyway. I'm not saying one shouldn't act- but moral outrage in the face of terrorism, from anyone but the Dalai Lama (and equally peaceful and saintly folks), strikes me as hyprocritical. Practical thinking- ok. How best to avoid massive bloodshed- fine. But moral outrage? That's a toughy.
