blaming terrorists for their own actions It is more accurate to use the term asymetrical warfare. These people don't pop out of the sky fully formed. Without understanding the dynamics there is no hope in changing them. TP

rTHere are reasons for everything whether you agree with them or not. Excuses are not the same thing. No one is excusing their behavior, but to fail to understand the reason will be a fatal mistake going forward. If anyone chooses to create a better world in the future we must first find the reasons that prompted the problems we choose to solve. Reactions with with proactive measure are responses to something that we seek to resolve. Otherwise, we are just putting a bandaid on the problem without solving it...............you can't heal wounds with Tomahawk missiles.

I am more inclined to blaming terrorists for their own actions and not searching out possible societal, political, or international excuses for their behavior. When innocent civilians are killed in the course of a very powerful country's quest to counteract terrorists (even though it's pretty obvious that Iraq and it's citizens were not THE terrorists in question), do you also refrain from searching out possible societal, political, or international excuses for the powerful country's behavior?
