2) Osama is not a political dissident. He is an enemy, trying to destroy civilization as we know (and like) it. Political dissent is one thing, terrorism is quite another.
3) I don't give a rat's arse how desperate anyone is; terrorism (as in: blowing up innocent civilians, on purpose) is wrong, period. If it's the only way you can fight, then DON'T FIGHT. Take a look at non-violent solutions, like Gandhi did, for example. Terrorism is just taking the easy (and evil) way out.

Well said Dragonlich. Those who would say otherwise and try to humanize and legitimize terrorists are no better in my eyes, as well as being equally dangerous.
