Terrorism is a method, not a type of person or organization. I don't agree with that method, but apparently I am in the minority in having this opinion. Most others (you included as you have stated in past threads) do agree with using the method of terrorism when they believe in the cause. And those same people tend to condem others who use the method of terrorism when they do NOT agree with the cause. Nothing surprising there.
To prove my point, name a group that used terrorism in the past where you disagreed with their use of terrorism, but were in favor of their cause. If nothing comes to mind, you do indeed fall into that category. When you believe in the cause, you probably don't even see it as terrorism, but are more likely to see it as "colateral damage".

Which part of American history would you like me to use? You're going to have to narrow it down to a specific period.
There's been plenty of terrorist acts committed by the U.S. government, when it wasn't warranted to achieve a good cause.
Sorry, but I'm not the brainwashed fool you continuously attempt to proclaim me.
Terrorism exists - as do terrorist organizations. Yes, they are normally political groups, but when they use terrorism as their most common/exclusive means of getting their message out, they are terrorist groups. No caveat.
