There are many posters who argue that the use of terror tactics is valid when the cause is (as they suggest) just, and when those targeted are harming the interests for which the bombers are fighting. Targeting civilians, to me, is never just, no matter how righteous the cause is PERCEIVED to be. I probably should not have posted that one here as it really belongs on the mideast thread. Yet, there are some who have equated the use of suicide bombers to soldiers. There are some that have posted that the use of terror tactics is justified against our troops in Iraq. There are some who have posted that the actions of Hamas and the other terror organizations is somehow justified, that Israel brings it on herself. There is even one poster here that claims that Israel started the Intifadah.
