Be Careful of What You Wish For

Discussing a pedanticly typical exchange of undigested ideas on a BBC Radio 4 program, Frank, a commenter on The Daily Ablution raises a salient point: could left-thinkers truly tolerate the relativism that they seek in their great future Nirvanna-topia?
In reference to terrorism, if one first asks "why do they hate us?", and that's concidered humanistic, "lucide," and virtuous, would they manage to think of a rapist the same way as a terrorist? Should one be caring and warm, and ask ourselved "why does he hate her? She shouldn't call the police - he might be offended and do it again!"
