Well I agree with the author that it is a good thing to forgive the terrorists in a personal level, but not to release them from the due penalties for their crimes, if they are caught.
That's a buggery hard thing to do though. It would be easier, I suppose , if they were repentant but those who were involved in the 9/11 attacks and are still alive are likely gloating about them to this day. And a person can say 'I forgive them' over and over again, but that doesn't mean they can make themselves mean it .. I do not think, had my loved ones been in those buildings and been killed, that I could make myself mean it.
