As I said, there's creating a theoretical 'moral vacuum' in which to debate competing worldviews, and then there's apologism for terrorist activity. This, IMO, falls firmly in the latter category.

No matter how obnoxious you believe the motives of the Coalition to be, there is a clear and obvious difference between a strategy that seeks to minimise or avoid civilian casualties, and a strategy that relies on maximum civilian casualties in order to press home a dogma by means of terror.
