Heavily paraphrased by time and my memory, but yes.
One doesn't have to like one's enemy, but one does have to understand them. When one understand them, then one has some idea of how to beat them.
The mindless "hang 'em in the airport" type emotion is ridiculous, futile and other than giving the impotent some illusion of relevance, will never achieve anything other than give the other side even more motivation and feelings of justification.
