I don't know Garth, seems MasTequila has a pretty good idea about how someone can justify killing civilians for a cause. "Less than what they deserved?"- you realise children would have died in those bombings, pregnant mothers? People that could have done nothing against anyone in their short lives- and that innocents have suffered since, ala fallout? That you condemn these people while asking of them an act you surely don't even begin to comprehend, of a variety we can only hope you're never called on to attempt? Pathetic.

Never mind that they probably had little idea why they were involved in the war, but were no-doubt told everyday that it was for a good cause- probably a repungnent Nationalist one.

Its sad when a person, bound by a national idenity, chain themselves to the failures, faults and wrong-doings of people they've never met, of different times; whose only relation being that they were born/lived within the correct set of imaginary lines. You have no responsibility for these things, yet you still defend those that did.

I don't doubt that the terrorists you hate so find moral justification for what they do, and you can be sure its a similar mixture of false-superiority and an appeal to an imaginary cause- ignoring the common humanity that beats within those unfortunate enough to be their victums, until it is callously snuffed out.

These were war-crimes and acts of terrorism, and people's constant inability to face up to simple truths is disturbing.
