rebel, I can't believe he actually answered your question. Its almost too amazing to know how to answer.

I think it is interesting that many of the people who think that terrorism against abortion clinics is acceptable will point to the "partisans" of WW2 (radical terrorists, really) to justify themselves. What exactly did the "resistance fighters" accomplish? Nothing other than getting more Jews and more of their own countrymen and women killed. Many would say that the time and effort of the "resistance fighters" would have been better spent trying to persuade the Germans to believe as they did. Instead they took the law into their own hands and killed German soldiers who were simply doing their job and judicial officials of their own countries to impose their beliefs on other people (not that what they believed was necessarily wrong). Do you think that made the Germans or the local officials more likely to change what they were doing? Even if somone is doing something really bad, wouldn't it be better to persuade them than kill them? Unless people are willing to respect law and order, the opinions of other people, and their legal rights, what do you think the chances are of a satisfactory solution being reached?

Note: I do not in any way believe that the Holocaust or the Nazi invasion of Europe was in any way acceptable or that the Holocaust did not happen.

This is the big kahuna of polarizing issues today...no doubt about that.

The Nazis and their French collaborators certainly did constantly call members of the Resistance "terrorists."

not that what they believed was necessarily wrong.

Those opposed the the wholesale slaughter of Jews weren't necessarily wrong. How good of you to almost see their side of things. If there were a Kinda, Sorta Humanitarian of the Year Award, I'd consider almost nominating you, possibly.

The strength of your convictions is truly awe-inspiring (whoever it was that wrote this patently obscene drivel).
