Well that's where I would have to differ. As far as I am concerned terrorism (deliberate attacks upon civilian targets) is terrorism and should be totally condemned. That is why, despite being a supporter of Irish independence, I could never support the terrorist tactics of the Provos etc. On the other hand, guerilla tactics against
military targets, when fighting a dictatorship, is perfectly acceptable. The way I see it, if you think the means justifies the ends when struggling for freedom, then you will function in the same way when (if) you achieve victory and the long-suffering people will have simply swapped one dictatorship for another.
