Hmmm...good point will; that's tricky. But, yeah, in short, I can see that. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. This would go right in line with what roach is saying as these examples and lines of reasoning support the whole terrorism exists as political action theorem.
I do feel that is problematic as to the degree and variation.
On a conceptional, theoretical level sure. But practically speaking or on a realist level I would disagree or reposit a different variation.
Even with your great example will, I feel we can deconstruct it further: how can we separate terrorism and guerrilla warfare? I believe this distinction to be important because the implications are so drastic. When the lines become blurred, then we lose any semblance of restraint or moral imperative (I do realize how deeply subjective this becomes).
(ok, I really have to go, be back Sunday)
