"We" in the US do not condone pipe bombs and murder. That is
not self-defence or "appropriate force". This is not in any
sense a battle or even difference between the US and the rest of
the world. I am sorry but I doubt very seriously you can do
much good as long as you are so reactive as to think and
actually post such things. Your dedication is admirable but you
really need to work on some other necessary aspects - with all
due respect.
