"You'll find many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on your point of view." Hence, we come to the problem of defining "good". Going along with the current assumption that the suicide bombers were connected to Osama Bin Laden and that there is no difference between military and civilains in his jihad against the US, their actions of hijacking the planes and causing them to crash were "good." They attacked the US and were martyered for their cause. *DING* they've just scored points for themselves in their afterlife. We see them as evil for doing it, they see themselves as good.

With all the math I've been doing lately [*] it makes me want to rephrase it somehwere along the linew of, "Their acts should be justified in themselves, i.e. 'good.'"
Then once we've defined good, we can knock off for a beer. Or maybe we should knock off for the beer first, since it might help our deliberations.
