If you didn't notice, "terror" is used by those groups and states that have no army of their own, have no power and no way to unify to create that, and so their only hope under their oppression in by guerrilla attacks (mind you, I'm not justifying 9/11, I don't feel that the Al Qaeda was at all an oppressed group, being as how they were quite well buddied with the ruling group in Afghanistan). For every suicide bomber there is, there are countless Palestinians being shot, burnt, massacred and otherwise destroyed by hypocritical israelites who claim "poor me! holocaust!" yet they go do the same to their neighbors (Once again, not justifying the holocaust and i think it was beyond awful, but it doesn't give anyone carte blanche either). also, their "leader" arafat... he ain't so much in control, if you didn't notice... Now if you'll excuse me, there is currently a large protest at Healy Circle so I'm going to go join in. One more voice of "FREE, FREE PALESTINE!!!" does more than a billion of these inane arguments on CP. PS- the protests are meant to be peaceful, nonviolent action. If anyone needs a clue about what that means, I'll explain. The "graphic posters" won't hurt you - they're reality. Unless, that is, you're afraid of reality....
