It's true that there are always two sides to an issue, but there's also a right & wrong side. It's pretty obvious which side is the wrong side on this issue. Killing innocent human beings is always morally wrong, no matter what. And it's obvious that in this case the passengers & people on the ground were innocent, therefore the act by the hijackers was morally wrong.

It doesn't matter what the US did prior to Tuesday to upset other countries or factions within those countries. Actions against civilians is wrong.

BTW, on the subject that started this thread. Multiple news outlets reported Palestinians celebrating the attack on the WTC & Pentagon. While it was wrong for CNN to use old footage (if it was in fact done) it does not change the fact that people celebrated. Showing the emotions of people on other countries is a valid news story.
