That may not be the official term, but that's my basic interpretation of it. As a result, in my opinion, there is nothing good about terror, no matter who's side the terrorists are on.
And no, fighting against terror, or simply attacking a country or group of people isn't immediately "terrorism". As long as the goal isn't simply to terrorize, it's not terrorism, period. Israeli gunships trying to kill Hamas fighters are not instruments of "state terrorism", but Hamas fighters trying to blow up innocent civilians *are* terrorists. Had the Hamas guys attacked military targets only, they would not be terrorists, but freedom fighters.
Simple, right?
