i agree xaccers ... in fact, tonge has even specifically stated that she did not condone suicide bombers.

my interpretation is that tonge has expressed empathy for the palastinians situation and that desparation can and often does lead to violence. morality looks very different when you live in abject poverty with no way out and no hope for improvment.

she was making a statement under a personal context too, not a partisan one. she isn't in the government either. kennedy should have siad he disagreed with her and then let the people of her constituency decide at the next election whether she is acceptable or not.

political correctness carves another notch in it's bedpost !
