Don't misunderstand what I am about to say, because I condemn terrorism unreservedly...... but..... almost all freedoms, as someone pointed out in another thread, have been won through bloodshed. Terrorists ARE freedom fighters, whether we consider their actions justified or not.
For example, in America it was not just peaceful protest that got human rights for black Americans, but also violence.... In India, it was not only peaceful protest that won freedon from British rule, but also violence....
I don't approve of violence. Too many get killed who do not deserve it. But I have a little understanding, I think, of the motivation for terrorism. It is a natural human desire for freedom and security and justice.
We will never get rid of terrorists until we get rid of the injustices that cause and perpetuate it.
