Re:US Pilot arrested after obscene gesture at Brazilian immigrat ion.

[dana tierney]

maybe al-Qaeda thinks it is committing war crimes. I would like both you and Big Brother to be very clear on what I am saying here -- I do not agree with any form of terrorism, and having lived in London at a time when the IRA was leaving bombs in the Underground I feel quite strongly about this. I can however conceive of a mentality where they might feel that hey, they have declared war and we are getting what we asked for. I do not say I agree. Years after I left London I read Trinity and began to see how people might feel hopeless enough to engage in terrorism, though I still feel it is is the wrong path, both morally and pragmatically.
