Well put.
Lets not insult the people doing this, on either side. People -in general- have a nasty habit of following the group and the group leader (ie. the Iraq war). At the same time, I dont condone thier actions -- I do not know why they do the things they do. I wish they did not commit these acts. I do not know how they feel about their upbringing or experiences or their particular desparations. My position is, to quote Tolstoy, "Those who judge and condemn people to violent treatment, wounds, maiming, death, wish to teach people. But what else can come from thier teaching, than that the pupil will learn his lesson and will become quite like the teacher?"
