I resent the fact that Churchill would justify terrorist actions by using examples two and three HUNDRED old. Three thousand people - mainly low level clerks & secretaries not the power brokers Churchill derides - died because "... the Raritans whose severed heads were kicked for sport along the streets of what was then called New Amsterdam, at the very site where the WTC once stood ?" That is why we call is TERRORISM.
I don't think he was trying to justify terrorism just pointing out that terrorism has been going on for sometime in different forms. What he clearly seems to be saying is that we need to look at what our policies are that are causing us to be attacked which seems pretty fundamental to me. Are we creating our own monsters by our policies with some of these other countries? The question at least seem worth looking into.
