I've said this often but, in my opinion, understanding NEGATES the need for forgiveness. If we truly understand why someone does something, then what they've done makes sense given what they were thinking/feeling at the time. I'm not saying that three thousand innocent people being killed is a right and proper thing, but what bin Laden did would make sense if we properly understood where his head was at.

Now this is a sane memoir! Even a 'monster' like Bin Laden is worthy of forgiveness. We are ALL worthy of forgiveness, no exceptions.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX says,
