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. You know darn well that I have not tried to "defend and justify" the suicide 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. That was a apparent from the first post. Anyone who can abhor the killings of 9/11 and suicide bombings but can reluctantly accept Shock and Awe has a questionable moral compass.
