Like before...  it depends on the circumstance.  I would speak out against a terror organization regardless of the circumstances, because I already stand a good chance of dying one way or another.

Most criminal organizations aren't focused on randomly blowing people up.  Most of them just sell drugs, arms, and/or launder money.  Terrorists are murderous enough that you might as well speak out, because you'll likely either get killed from a bombing or from retaliation.  I'd rather die trying to defend people than just out of a random act of violence.

But why would you protect your family before speaking out any other criminal organization and would speak out against terrorists regardless of the consequences?  That doesn't sound pretty clever if you think these guys would kill you without thinking of it twice.  I mean, why wouldn't you protect your family before acting against these scumbags when you know they will try to kill you.

Um...  the point I was trying to make is that terrorists are different from the average criminal.  Terrorists usually blow up people randomly, so the odds of getting killed by one without even ratting on him is much higher than getting killed by say, a member of the mob.

So, in summary, it's best to rat out terrorists because you already stand a good chance of getting killed by them without doing anything against them in the first place.

It's basically do or die against terrorists.

I dunno, would you risk your family even more?

I would speak out if I knew about terrorists. If I knew it would make a diferance.

And it would make you a dead guy.

Every man dies.


Not every man really lives.

How profound.

Self-preservation and the preservation of friends and family are what I normally live by, but I guess terrorism just strikes me differently.

I would risk anyone in favor of stopping terrorists, including myself and my own children (if I had any).  It's not an easy choice for anyone who actually has kids, so I understand the reluctance, but I guess the limited sense of honor that I have applies to this one case.

I see things like fundamentalist terror as some of the greatest evil out there because of its raw nihilism.  Even as much as I hate war profiteers, they at least are less nihilistic.  You can reason with a warmonger, but you can't reason with a terrorist.
