I don't know about the current 'terrorists.'
But throughout history what one side would call terrorist the other side would call freedom fighter.
Now this isn't to say that I condone the tactics. I am personally horrified by them.
But the English were horrified by the colonist's tactics.
And the Americans were horrified by North Vietnam's tactics.
Different cultures value different lives differently. When I was in China the morning television show would show that day's about to be executed prisoners. They would all be put out on a balcony for everyone to see. Those sad eyes always got to me.
