Subject: RE: BS: On Not Hating One's Enemies
Well, I agree with Raedwulf about that GUEST's manners - but I can't follow the logic of the earlier bit.

No doubt the September 11th organisers and perpetrators believed that "what the Bush administration is doing in the Middle East, is evil". That doesn't make what they did on September 11th any less evil.

And the fact that what happened on September 11th was evil doesn't in any way mean that what Bush is doing in the Middle East is any the less evil.

Bush and Bin Laden clearly differ on a lot of things - but it seems fairly evident that they are agreed on one thing, and that is that, in the course of attacking what you believe is supremely evil, it is alright to kill thousands of innocent people.
