It's a well know fact. Mandela was a quasi-terrorist before he became a saint. Which is why his life is so inspiring.[/quote]

Reagan said:

"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." That's a catchy phrase, but also misleading. Freedom fighters do not need to terrorize a population into submission. Freedom fighters target the military forces and the organized instruments of repression keeping dictatorial regimes in power.[/i]

Yet when it came to the Contras, Reagan and his administration saw no problem backing them against the Sandinistas despite the former indulging in attacks against the population at large.

So leaders tend to be selective in their condemnation against terrorism. "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" is more than just a catchy phrase!
