You don't kill hundreds of people simply because you don't like the way they do business.
That depends upon your point of view. To those that orchestrated the attacks the war on their culture has been going on for years, so this could be seen as an attempt to stop it. I'm not arguing whether or not it was effective, rather the reasons for it. Again, when you look at it from the attackers point of view it is very similar. You keep looking at one from an attacker's standpoint and another from an attackee's standpoint. I guarantee you that those people that lived in Hiroshima and Nagasaki that didn't want anything to do with the war have the same view on the bombs as you do with 9/11.
