Once again, I find myself agreeing with you, @Rich. I would also like to add another example to your long list - the French Maquis during the Second World War. We choose to call them “freedom fighters”, but they were clearly terrorists. And it’s a good thing that they were - some regimes should be terrorised.
Rich wrote:How can a thinking person make a statement like that. Even leaving aside the question of our direct use of terrorism, I find the statement morally repulsive. Are you saying it was wrong to support the Mujaheddin against the Soviets? Are you saying the Dutch and British were wrong to support the Iroquois federation in their conflicts with the French?
