explaination of last post

In explaining my last post: I wasn't implying that we should empathize with terrorism. But the idea that people can't understand that they are no different than those bombers. People fail to realize that if they were put in the same situation with the same environment and society, they would turn out just like that too. It's just so absurd that we condemn troubled peoples so certain sufferings and doom when we can glorify destructive rebellion, death, ends to justify the means, and destruction in hollywood.
I'm not saying we can do anything about it, I'm just saying that maybe people should be more wary of their own thoughts and convictions. I mean, I'll bet you that many troops, politicians, and others have stopped thinking of those middle-eastern insurgents and involved/angry civilians as human beings, who can still think of the V-Vendetta insurgents as human beings if the terrorist is nathalie portman.
I don't know, I'm still not being as clear as I'd like to be, but do you get my point?
And it doesn't mean that I don't want to see the movie, cause it does look very cool. I'm just reminding myself that I never want to be a heartless hypocrit who thinks he and his company/party is always justified and moral, like the nazis.
