I agree that all of the listed attacks are terrorists, but that's what you get when you use extreme examples. This is still a "silly exercise" since we're using a list that's obviously skewed towards one viewpoint. That's why I didn't bother to post anything before.
If you want to start a real dialogue on what constitutes terrorism versus freedom fighting, revolution, etc. you need to find better examples besides gross examples of Islamist attacks.
If you want to discuss the Boston Tea Party, the IRA attacks on London, bombings of abortion clinics and gay bars, the World Church of the Creator attacks or the destruction of Indian mosques by Hindi extremists, I'll be more than happy to do so, but the way that the question is posed is an exercise in futility.
