I disagree with that old chestnut.
A freedom fighter attacks only those who it perceives to be the enemy, and is usually careful not to involve people that it has no fight with. (the Maquis, the Andartes, the Yugoslav Partisans)
A terrorist is deliberately indiscriminate. They will will cause as much collateral damage as they can to as wide a group as they can. (the IRA, Al Qaeda, Bader Meinhof)
As do I, and on exactly the same reasoning.
My point however, was if you define any position that differs to yours as "terrorism", then you really are dividing the entire human race into "terrorists" and "patriots", and if you aren't a Patriot, your're a lousy terrorist.
