If I may, just a comment on the difference between recognizing something and praising it. If someone acted with strong emotion to sustain a violent action, we have to recognize the strength and tenacity of that emotion and consider it in the overall picture of a future Iraq. I find any attacks on civilians and aid workers appalling. Personally, I can't begin to grasp the moral framework it takes to blow up Red Cross workers or shoot up a schoolyard over a drug deal. But it happens over and over and over, and we have to deal with it. How, without embarking on a scorched earth policy and free fire zones? I don't have an easy answer. Just wanted to point out how recognition is so easily twisted into a false endorsement in today's political debate. Which is also sad. JMHO - not meant as an attack at all.
