Karen,

Your logic isn't...

When you state: If terrorism is absolutely wrong, then the media should treat it the same way it does axe murder, with disapproval. Further, we must teach our kids about patriotism--inculcating them with love of country and willingness to defend it but making clear that their defense of their country must never go so far as to target enemy civilians. Better to give up their nation and culture than to target civilians.

What you are saying is that (in this highly questionable and hypothetical case) that the only way to defend ourselves is to target our enemies civilians (especially children).

How exactly does that become our only option?

John
