And I think I "understand" but I don't "support" the suicide bombers.

You "understand" how/why the guy today lured Iraqi laborers to his car, killed as many of them as possible along with himself?

You understand how for him this was a desperate expression of his objection to US military presence in Iraq?

You understand why he killed ~100 Iraqi workers and himself rather than carry a sign in the public square, rather than vote against some politician, rather than at least try to kill a soldier?

I don't understand that at all.

I think a society/culture/religion that produces that as a method of expression is sick, and needs to examine itself to remove whatever it was that produced that guy's beliefs.

In the first part you say "understand" and in the second part you say "support". I "understand" but don't "support" people like you that were for the invasion and occupation of Iraq. And I think I "understand" but I don't "support" the suicide bombers.

I think Elroy may be the new DR.

By switching meanings like that in the middle of your analogy I could almost think you are trying to trick me.

Wouldn't surprise me!
