I didn't say you apologized for Muslim suicide bombing. I said you were an apologist for suicied bombings. Being an apologist means you try to justify something. In this case, you are a suicide bombing apologist, because many of your statements right after a suicide bombing take the following form: "The suicide bombing was unspeakable and a tragedy and should never be justified, BUT if Western countries hadn't done this, that, and the other, they wouldn't have been bombed in the first place." That's right........when you are in one of your self righteous rages, you ignore all that's gone down before and blame everything on the Muslims. In most events, there is a cause and effect..........to ignore that relationship is to play the fool. I am simply speaking as truth to power. If the US is to come out ahead, it needs to understand why this garbage is going down. In that way, it can come up with an effective strategy to get what it wants. Its not being an apologist for suicide bombings [and btw I understood what you meant the first time] but rather its understanding why they are happening. Suicide bombings can never be justified but the reason they exist can be explained.

That, my friend, is a justification, which is why I call you an apologist. Rather than telling him what he is, why don't you just stick to telling us what you are? When people describe other's views on this thread, they inevitably get it wrong. So you speak for yourself, and let others speak for themselves, we don't need you to speak for others. So go ahead Mr "Nuke Mecca", tell us about yourself.
