I'm saying it's justified? Not at all, I'm saying that military action is pushing moderates into radicals. Does that not seem logical to you? It's not about appeasement. You nor I can actually understand their mindset because neither of us have anything close to the sorts of life experiences a lot of these people have suffered through. These people are left with nothing but revenge, they have no education, they do not enjoy the luxuries of being able to see both sides of a coin. They are shown their lives being destroyed and they are told how they can enact revenge and there is no-one there to tell them the actual truth. Then they are brainwashed and after that there isn't any going back. To sit and try to say, "ooh what you're doing isn't actually right mate" when you don't even understand how their minds think it's absurd. There's no point, once they have gone down that road there is no coming back. The only thing to prevent things like this happening is stopping people from going down that road in the first place and levelling another city with airstrikes isn't going to do that. Are you really trying to deny that civilians are being killed in western air strikes? Come on man, just use google. All the info is there to be seen if you actually look for it.
