Let's just take a look at one of those points to get a feel for something is not quite right with this rebuttal:
"2. There were repeated warning to evacuate the hotel. The British ignored the warnings. Arabs in the kitchen were warned and fled."
First off, that is alleged. Second, if someone tells you to leave your house so they can blow it up, does that make it OK?
How about we just treat all terrorists with equal disdain? That way we don't have to argue over exceptions to the rule.
And let's put it in context. The bombing was in 1946. What NATION are you referring to. We certainly cannot be celebrating a nation's 60th birthday in 2008 if they were around in 1946 now can we?
