From a Noam Chomsky interview, punctuation provided by me:
"If we are serious about the question or terror, serious about the question
of violence, we have to recognize that it is a tactical and hence moral
matter. Incidentally, tactical issues basically are moral issues; they have
to do with human consequences...If we are interested in say, diminishing
the amount of violence in the world, it's at least arguable and perhaps
even sometimes true that a terroristic act does diminish the amount of
violence in the world. Hence, a person who is opposed to violence will not
be opposed to that terroristic act."
