That point of view is so black/white that it hurts.

Too bad that you're dead wrong. I don't see terrorists as mindless killing machines. I understand that they have a goal. I just happen to think that their goal is evil, insane, undemocratic, inhumane and totally against my interests. In other words: they're the enemy, no matter if they have a goal or not.
And yes, I do recognise the difference between "freedom fighters" and "terrorists. I don't think freedom fighters should be striving to blow up innocent civilians, no matter what their reasons; that is wrong according to pretty much every moral system on the planet. The reason it is wrong is the intent.
Perhaps it would be better to say that the US strives for order, while terrorists strive for chaos. Whereas too much order is a bad thing, too much chaos is a very bad thing.
