Doesn't suprise me. If I was asked the question in certain ways I would say that suicide attacks are justified:
eg:

• Do you think it is justified for an officer to command a soldier into an attack that will certanly end in his death?
• Do you think that in a war suicide attacks are ever justified?
• Do you think that suicide attackers believe themselves to be justified?

etc.

Pretty thread to be honest Dave. You right-wingers are on the backfoot a bit these days.

Erh, and you need to get your reading scrip checked. You've completely missed the bit about targeting civilians, which your post doesn't address in the least.

I think we'd all agree the charge of the light brigade was a heroic, if stupid thing to do. I don't think we'd have the same feelings of reverence and respect for a guy who drives a bomb-laden car into a nursery school (or for a desk jockey who targets a hospital with a guided missile, with a nod to Ser C's point).
