For God's sake beardedbruce - when have I ever said anything to indicate that I think that Al Qa'eda are something to be adnmired or emulated? Or that any act of terrorism ever justifies acts of terrorism in response?

Disagree with things I say by all means, but don't pretend I said things I have never said or implied.

My point is that both sides are guilty of doing things that should never happen, and that are properly described as terrorist acts, and that any suggestion that it's only "the other side" which is guilty on this way is false.
