There are a surprising number of apologists for the terrorists posting on FR.

There is a difference between apologizing for terrorists, and understanding why they did what they did. If we don't reconsider some of our actions, it will happen again. Acting on blind rage will just lead to more of the same.

If you "understand" why the terrorists did this then you have a sick mind like the terrorists. There are no circumstances that justify their actions. Therefore their actions cannot be "understood".

One definition of "understand" from the American Heritage Dictionary: "To know and be tolerant or sympathetic toward."

There is a diffierence between apologizing for the Nazis solution to the Jewish problem and understanding why they didn what they did. If we don't reconsider some of the actions of the Jews, it will happen again.

Bah. Poppycock.
