Just so you know - you're one of the posters that compelled my rant - no facts - just the "many aspects" - and like your handle you got included.
But also in your response this " It's so easy to say that the Palestinians shouldn't kill Israelis when you aren't a Palestinian. crap means I will not bother with any further response until you explain that line. :-(

I wasn't trying to make an argument, simply an observation.

But also in your response this " It's so easy to say that the Palestinians shouldn't kill Israelis when you aren't a Palestinian. crap means I will not bother with any further response until you explain that line. :-(

I was simply illustrating that it's easy to rationalize any behavior (and I mean any behavior) if you believe that the only person with the authority to be critical about what someone does is that person, themself. I don't know what it's like to be Ted Nugent so I can't criticize Ted Nugent. I also don't know what it's like to be Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Lee Boyd Malvo, John Allen Muhammad, or even (heck) Howard Dean. Does that mean I can't say anything disparaging about any of them because I don't understand them enough?

The idea that someone can't be critical of others, either because they don't share that persons unique situation in life or because they are not, themselves, without sin is the sort of things liberals have used for years to define deviancy down. Sorry, but I'm not playing.

And, frankly, I think you need to chill out a little.
