I perfectly understand your emotional reaction. Still, it´s emotional. You and I we may react emotional, however, the state must not.

Without him, no hijacking.

True, but without the parents of the hijackers, there´d be no hijacking either. So, you see that we have to draw a line. And my state draws that line between those who actually did it, those who encouraged others to do it (promising an advantage, giving money, telling them to do it, etc) and those who helped somehow. It´s my states decision, I´m fine with that, and you don´t need to agree with that. All I request you is to respect it. If you can´t we´ve to live with it.

I think we´ve exchanged our arguements. Therefore I wish you a nice weekend, Michael

The parents did not know their sons would commit these crimes. Those who helped the terrorists knew they were committing these crimes.

Americans like to judge people by who they are, not by who their father was--or who their sons are.

Yeah, right--we have to draw the line, but it's up to the state where to draw it. No individual rights, no objective standards--once you're in power, you can do anything you want. If the state draws the kind of lines that Hitler drew, we are still supposed to "respect it."

Why do you want a third war, Michael? Weren't two enough?

Wrong, there would just be different hijackers. Without financing, there would be no hijackings, even if there were willing hijackers.
