Now, come ON -- after all that energy expended to prove that Reagan's answer would have to be "yes-yes," SURELY there must be some follow-up.

What now?
 
Hello darkness, my old friend...

If it isn't true then why is it that the ones who make such a silly ignorant blanket statement that one "man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" are liberals and Eurotrash?
 
Another simple question where people begin word wars when they can't attack the premise.

I wonder if simply answering the question ever occurred to them, but w/e :2wave:
 
Deeply underwhelmed by the above two convincing "arguments" put forward...
 
The way I see this debate is "Do the terms 'terrorist' and 'Freedom fighter' have a subjective meaning, or an objective meaning."

I think that they have objective meanings, and that the meanings are not related. They both can apply to the same groups.

A person using terrorism to fight for freedom is not less of a freedom fighter for using this tactic, nor would they be less of a terrorist for using those tactics to fight for freedom.

It's pretty simple in that sense.

Trying to link the two as opposing ideas is creating a false dichotomy based on how people apply the terms, not on what they actually mean.
