i agree. i can't even understand the al quada's logic in all this. according them because we're allegedly the evil empire, they have to sacrifice innocent lives to prove their point? seriously, most of those civilians had almost nothing to do with al quada.
I personally don't care what justification you use. It's never a good idea to kill millions of innocent lives for any reason. This is exactly why I don't think we'll see world peace in our lifetime. i think we will someday, as mankind evolves, but i don't think it will happen until another 100 years if we're still here.
