The insanity of 9/11 ....
"Differently" or "Wrongly".
Yes, some people have used the word 'Insanity' in a poetic way, in order to symbolically indict the judgements of others which they disagree with so intensely as to imply that their faculties must be disordered.
But question these terrorists. The Substance of their Realities is the same as the Substance of ours. We live in and perceive the same World. The difference is in Moral Context. They believe that Societies that are extremely hostile to their own can fairly be treated as enemies, and they refuse the distinction whereby Powerful Citizens can claim they are off limits to the violence of Just Revenge because they have arranged for Working Class Military men to stand in for the Danger which the Terrorists think the Entire Society deserves. But we have been raised in This Society and have been taught not to question the distinction whereby most of the members of a Society that oppresses other societies, and benefits from that oppression, are somehow still 'innocent' simply because they do not wear uniforms.
But when you evaluate the Actions of some Western Military Coalitions, which claim they are NOT terrorist. We find that they have the same practical view toward the Societies they chose to attack. Where the Propaganda proclaimes that only one person, like Saddam Husein, is truly the only guilty person within an entire Country, when it comes to the bomb dropping and the machine gunning, it turns out that nobody in the Entire Country is entirely exempt. As applied by both Sides of the Conflict, at the practicaly 'in the field' level, nobody is treated as 'innocent'. And if you were to strictly keep score, the Anti-Terrorists have by far killed many more un-uniformed men, women, and even babies.
But it is not insanity. It is simply moral dereliction.
