Frank,
Sorry, I do believe it.
Whether the other man is a raving maniac or not is besides the point.
Bin Laden's group and a limited few others see themselves as freedom fighters.
The rest of the world (including me, lest I be misinterpreted and get you in a tizzy) sees them as terrorists.

Want a few more less black and white issues?
Terrorist or Freedom Fighter?
Gerry Adams.
Yasser Arafat.
Ariel Sharon.
Sandanistas.
Tamil Tigers.
Corazin Aquino.

It all depends on which side of the bombs you are on.

As for the lists, I think I did include Ted Kennedy, and we could spend the rest of the day trading lists.
All I was pointing out that there are nuts on both sides. Think classic bell curve distibution.

cheers,
Tony
