This last word is a loaded one, mind you. I cannot condone any action that has the distinct purpose of causing fear. You cannot fight evil with evil. You cannot stop injustice with injustice. You cannot alleviate misery by causing misery. If you want to call it a military tactic, fine, but know that there is no good in war--no matter the circumstances.

I agree with this sentiment and I don't give a damn about anyone's rationalizations for setting out to kill people to make a political point. IT'S THE WRONG WAY. Regardless of where you come from, what god you worship or what you had for dinner last night. It's all puffed up, egotistical bullshit when it comes down to that decision that allows for an acceptable amount of murder - because our cause is just. No. Violence is the easy way out. And mankind are perpetual cowards.
