Guest FG - You said, "by Mudcatters like CarolC and Dianavan. Terrorists are absolved as long as they are seen as weak or desperate, and their enemy is viewed as a cruel Goliath."

At no time have I absolved terrorists from their criminal acts. To find a solution, the problem must be understood. Yes, I do try to find what motivates them and try not to get sidetracked by blanket statements issued by our lying and corrupt politicians. In this 'war against terrorism', nobody is right. Just because I criticize Bush and Blair, doesn't mean I'm defending terrorism.

You seem to think everything is black and white. I happen to think that there are many shades of grey.

I'd appreciate it if you could stick to the discussion and quit making this personal. Take your mask off make your argument without taking pot shots and distorting the truth.
