Pretty much, yes. But as said, the intellectual values that form the  
basis of Western ideals are flawed. This is Pirsig's basic criticism of

higher level of Intellectual Values, still continue to hold  these "flawed" 
values in our societies?

So you think Islamic religious terrorism is morally equivalent to  the

I ask:

the Western capitalist terrorism? 
No, I do not think that violence should beget violence. But I can  understand 
that a human instinct is the fight or flight. After being hit so  many times,
