Please explain.
Surely you’re not equating cheering the demise of Bin Laden etc. with the intentional murder of civilians?
I understand what he’s saying.
He’s basically saying we’re at war, and that’s what enemies do at the demise at their enemies.
He means, they know they are at war with us.
I am equating the reaction of people on either side.
You are apply a moral distinction, where from their perspective, there isn’t one.
They are not stupid—they know they could never compete with us on the field. So they fight a war of terrorism. THIS attack is a victory for them, at least in their eyes.
We can be outraged at their reaction. But lets not be surprised.
