We are no better than the terrorists and therefore what they are doing is justified as a response to our actions in the world.

Your position is quite clear. You think terrorism is justified when you agree with the goals of the terrorists. On the other hand, my position that terrorism is never justified is absolute.
What do you think of terrorists like the Nicaraguan Contras and Cuban terrorist groups like Alpha 66? Do you think that their terrorism was justified?
And what do you think about the Bush administration's refusal to extradite terrorists wanted by other countries like Luis Posada and Orlando Bosch? Do you think they should be extradited?
If you think those terrorists are ok, then you are no different than an Al-Queda supporter. You just have different politics than they do.
If on the other hand, I am wrong, then please do say that our government was criminal in giving financial support to, and helping to train, these terrorist groups and individuals. Somehow I doubt you will say so.
