You missed our conversation. If you'd seen the whole thread, it went like this. He constantly justifies terrorism by saying that it's a tragedy, "BUT" it wouldn't happen if we didn't deserve it. I told him that is despicable because that is basically being an apologist for terrorists. It's important to help people understand why there can be absolutely no justification for terrorism because we have to draw a very black and white line between terrorism and lawful resistance. If you don't define the problem, you can't solve it. Apologists are engaged in blurring the lines sufficiently that no progress can be made because Muslim nations have forever been supporting terrorism as a legitimate means of resistance. The whole civilized world needs to unite behind the concept that absolutely NO killing of innocent civilians is ever justified for political reasons. If they want to attack the troops or even better figure out a peaceful way to get their way like Ghandi or the Ukrainians, then those are the legitimate options. But making your point by killing a busload of children should never gain you anything in the form of understanding or compromise. We should never seek to understand nor negotiate with pure evil. We should simply unite to eliminate it.
