One Man's Terrorist....

...is Another Man's Freedom Fighter.

Or is he?

This question has always plagued me. In my heart I know that the use of bombings, etc, in the defence of some ideals perhaps was not moral, but definitely was legitimate. How could I reconcile the Afghan "freedom fighter" with the Palestinian "terrorist".

Lucky for me I have Lee Harris, a man much smarter than I, who put together this essay on why Palestinian terrorism is different.

I highly recommend this to anyone who has ever struggled with the right and wrong of terrorism.
