Don't Waste Time Watching Oscars, Winners Revealed Here

The right wing has a motto and primary principle of action:

The end justifies the means.

When they feel self righteous, they can then rationalize and justify any behaviors, even the same behavior of those who wronged them.

This administration has no problem with torture, lying, spying, etc. as they feel their overall mission justifies any particular behavior.

It is not based on rule of law, but rule of feeling wrong, and the self righteousness that follows.

Good can act like Evil, but is not evil because it is actually good only acting like evil.

Quote from hcour:

One of the central themes of the film, which you and Coulter miss, or blatantly misinterpret, is the question: What is a Terrorist? Are you suggesting "those dispatched to stop them" were not employing the very same methods of terrorism used by their enemies? What does the protagonist say about using bombs because "they get the most attention"? Despite the much greater risk to innocent lives? That's one of the main points of the film. Are you and Coulter suggesting that it's ok for one faction to use terrorist tactics, but not the other? Because, why, one is for "revenge"? But the movie asks, What is Revenge? It's all revenge. That's what makes the cycle endless and sheer madness. "You killed my family, now I'm going to kill your family." At several points the protagonists ask if they even really know who they're killing and they get no satisfactory answers from those who sent them on their mission in the first place. They're never even sure about what they're really doing.

So, yes, if you want to put it that way, the point is that it is a moral equivalency, or better yet and truer to the meaning of the film, an immoral equivalency. Terrorism begets terrorism.

This is an anti-war film, it's themes are humanistic, it despises politics, and it doesn't take sides. In fact it says both sides engage in an equal and horrible madness, and that by murdering others, they are ultimately only killing themselves. Such is the nature of war and violence and vengeance.
