Ake,

it's always a pleasure to disagree with you. You're not in any way close to being an apologist for terrorism, the disagreemant is in (some of) the methods how to stand up against it.

Dianavan,

it is not easy to tell (harbouring vs. infiltration), but in Afghanistan the succession of statements from Mullah Omar (Bin Who? He's not here; he's here but the status of a guest is sacrosanct to a Muslim; we'll hand him over if you give us definite proof) made the conclusion easy. In the other examples I cannot see that the respective governments actually support the terrorists that are (physically or with interests) in their countries. But each case has to be decided on its own.
