  "... you can say that again!"
  "okay..."

       Justification of acts of terrorism (or war, for that matter)
usually goes along the lines of "It takes drastic action, otherwise
our cause will be ignored".  The problem with taking drastic action
is that the "cure" is *always* worse than the disease.  (I am being
sincere here.   I think the U.S. would be better off today if there
had been no Revolution back in the 18th century,  to say nothing of
the wars since then).  I believe that war (terrorism) destroys
things that are required for survival:  not just people and other
natural resources, but trust and love.
