My point is more about the hysteria than surrounds this situations than any flaw in what you said.

yeah, good point. I guess I shouldnt have made my comment, as im not trying to create strife. I did the same thing after 9/11 when everyone was busy calling the terrorists evil and monsters and I disagreed. I guess I just dont understand hysterical reactions in situations like these

They were evil monsters. They were not cowards, and they may have been right that that might have been the best way to pursue their goals. I don't think that absolves them of moral failure.

And they say we are evil monsters....so whos right? And its a moral failure according to your set of morals, but there is no absolute when it comes to that, so again, whos right?

Im also open to a good deal of relativism, but, I think any act that, if taken as the norm, would lead to the near-immediate extinction of humanity is about as close to "objectively immoral" as you can get.
