Yes, there are many ways to deal with the issues of terrorism, running the spectrum of political ideology. Yet I would hazard a guess that the majority here see the overall issue more from a similar perspective than from a different one, ie., as more a condemnation than a blessing.

Powerclown, no offense, but I think that this thread was mental masturbation from its onset. You picked 10 very similar (with the exception of Beslan) incidents perpetrated by a very small minority of a group typically villified by the Western world. If you want to try to have a true discussion of what is terrorism and what isn't, you need to greatly expand your examples to allow us to explore the boundaries. Picking 10 of the most obvious examples doesn't do anything. I'd love to be a part of that discussion, but its going to take a lot of thought to try to set some parameters. Again, no offense, but you took the lazy way into this fostering this discussion.
