What, if any, is the philosophical or political difference between a suicide bombing on a bus in Israel and the 9/11 suicide attack on the World Trade towers?

None!

Well, that's a straightforward answer.

Since you have defended and tried to jusify the bus bombings, so obviously you defend and justify the 9-11 bombings.

At which point, you and I are so far apart in our fundamental belief systems about the value of human life that there seems no point in our continuing a dialogue. For dialogue to happen, there needs to be some common ground. Between us, there is none.

"Civilian deaths were an unfortunte side effect."

I see....its okay when we kill civilians but not when anyone else does.

Ted of course you have every right to disagree with Chris and I on this issue but you shouldn't distort our position. Its not a case that X is ok when we do it but not ok when the Palestinian terrorist do it. It is rather the case that the Palestinians and the US military are doing differnt things.
