Response to Survey

In response to cCarissa Keith (link Carissa Keith ); I think she misunderstood what the surveys about the suicide bombers were meant to convey. She says that the 2.8 million people in America are perfectly peaceful witch is true but what the survey was trying to say is that even though they may be peaceful they still support the bombings as the article states. Another point that she makes is that the surveys asks if they believe the acts are justifiable and says this could be in retaliation to maybe an attack on them. Although this true the survey also states in the question that the bombings are against civilian targets. This to me shows that they think it is ok for civilians to die because someone has attacked them. I don’t believe many people of other faiths think that killing civilians in any case even in retaliation is ok. This was proven after the nuclear strikes in the World War when millions of civilians were killed or injured. Anther point she makes is that some of the responses were sometimes or rarely justified and that is ok. If these suicide bombers were attacking militarily posts or buildings yes this response is ok but when we are talking about civilians dieing I along with many others don’t believe that it is justified at all even rarely. The major point of the story and survey is that these results are very shocking and unbelievable but still very real at the same time witch I do believe that Carissa agrees with.
