Funding terrorists means sharing the responsibility for their actions. Saying "other people do it as well" is irrelevant. I'm just as happy to condemn those who support Chechen, UDA or any other terrorists with funds. I've nothing against the Boston in particular,but neither do I excuse them.


In fact I chose my particular example to highlight the ludicrous nature of the "we'll kill them before they kill us" attitude. Terrorists don't exist in isolation, and the roots stretch down into respectable populations. Kill the visible terrorists and the good citizens of wherever will just fund other individuals.
