Reply #5: Your thought is putting human face to this person and that is helpful

[kgnu_fan]

All these Bush era propaganda thinking is to dehumanize people who are "different" and especially if they were pushed to a desperate action. That is the ill of this country - we are trained by media to think in a "black and white" view of "other culture" and making people of foreign land as someone you do not understand.

At least to ponder about all the possible human situation is something we can afford to do at this moment.
