Well, I'd like to know exactly what you mean by that, and how I am to accomplish that. Nevertheless, so long as we keep killing more of them than they do of us, there will be solution someday -- so long as we can stomach the war of attrition. Maybe I don't want to think like them -- maybe I just want to see them dead. [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/noevil.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]I'm not sure who you mean by "they".

Understanding why they do things is not the same as accepting their point of view as being right. Even if you accept that they have a case you don't have to agree with the methods they use.

e.g The ANC terrorist attacks in South Africa. I fully supported the views of the ANC but opposed their violence. Eventually it was the sporting boycott of South Africa in support of the ANC that brought about the release of Mandela and the dismantlement of apartheid.
