You still haven't answered my question.
Do you believe the 9/11 attacks were justified and proper acts of war as you implied?
My position is that targeting civilians is wrong - whether the US does it or Al Quada does it. Some posters are trying to convince others that terror attacks on civilians is ok if we do it but only wrong if others do it to us. As Voltaire said, Beware of people who can make you believe absurdities, because they can make you commit atrocities.
The absurdity that targeting women and children was ok in the terror attacks on Dresden is wrong - I disagree with Al Simmons, geronimo and the others that this atrocity can be rationalized - even Churchill could not stomach it. And Al Quada was also wrong to target civilians in the World Trade Center, IMO.
