No matter which religion or philosophy they follow. They don't think, they react. Their actions did not help their cause at all, it only hurt it - which was a stupid move. Who did they win over?
If christians blow up abortion clinics do we sit here and reason it out and sympathize with them, try to rationalize their actions and blame America for what we did to them to 'make' them do it? No, we condemn it as the wrong course of action. We attack (as I have seen here at times) the 'fundies'.
This was the same type of action, but by 'fundies' of islam with a grudge. We try to rationalize it and blame ourselves for making them do it, we were mean to them so they had no other choice (if you believe they did it). But that is oversimplifying the matter.
The perps used violence, killed thousands like we say * has done in Iraq. Him we give a hard time, them we sometimes make excuses for. Such actions are wrong, period.
Fanatics are stupid in that they try to use violence to control others (in this case). They use violence to try and change the way things are because they don't believe enough in their arguments. They see no other choice. Sometimes, it comes down to fighting, in this case if they wanted a fight they should not have killed people who had nothing to do with their plight. To them we were all the same, but when freeper types say the same about iraq (kill em all, carpet bomb, etc) we see that as the wrong mentality - if it is wrong for us how do we justify it for them?
Governments are the problem, not the innocents under the government. If they felt America was the enemy, and they want to kill our people, than we should hunt them down as they will not (obviously) discriminate between our military and the general public. If they wanted to further their cause they did not do so by their actions, which to me is stupid behavior. They killed people who had no grudge against them, and for what? Did we change? Did we cave in? They took the wrong road because they were stupid.
How has the Dali Llama handled the china situation? Did he get his people to fly planes into buildings full of chinese people? Violence breeds more violence, if we expect dumbya to see this and chastise him for not seeing it, can we give a pass to the hijackers?
It was stupid. It did nothing for them except create more death of their own people. They chose the wrong path, and they alienated the very people who could have kicked out the * and helped them. They gained nothing, killed many, and have nothing to show for it.
