    There’s an old adage that one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist.

    Allowing a label to dictate your view of the events is naive at best.

      I always say “if you look at it from the current government point of view, Luke Skywalker was just a terrorist.”

      Uh, it’s a nice saying, but it’s not really that true. There are some defining differences in terrorists and fighting a war

        Anyone or government can call an individual or group “terrorists.” To the British, American revolutionaries were terrorists. Every movie you’ve seen where the hero fights back against an evil government is a terrorist. Jason Bourne is a terrorist.
