    People love to root for the underdog.

    I agree with you earlier statment about finding fault with the actions both or neither - but not one or the other - as logically consistent.

    [rhinoceros]
    Erik, what would "finding fault with neither" mean in practice?

    When a suicide bomber blows himself up in a bus (hasn't happened for a while) some of us may seek reasons but nobody says "Hey, let them continue" until now.

    [simul]
    Who is saying “let them continue”?

    There are thousands of excellent reactions so, say, a suicide bomber blowing himself up in a bus. Finding fault with the bomber isn't one of them.

    Some examples:

    Finding fault with the bombing, itself as an a action.

    Increase security on buses

    Find out the reasons why the bomber did what he did and attempt to mitigate those circumstances

    Make explosives/bombs harder to obtain/build.

    See?

    Sitting around and blaming the bomber gets us nowhere.
