No! Once again, you've missed the point - this is getting *really* frustrating.
The teacher *did not* state the opinion that the WTC was a legitimate target.
He stated that the people responsible for it *thought* it was a legitimate target. Which they must have done, or they wouldn't have done it. If they were not able to justify their own actions to themselves, would they have been able to go through with it?
I think it's reasonable for us all to agree that those bombers did what they did deliberately. Perhaps they were coerced into doing it by someone else - but I didn't think that was a commonly held belief.

[edit] Sorry - cross post.
Yes, you get it now. To Al Quaida - it was a legitimate target. That's what the teacher was saying. That, I think we can all agree is probably a reasonable statement, is it not?
