"The Ariel Sharon thing is a classic example of "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" - hardly so.

Sharon wasn't involved in any kind of irregular army fighting an occupying force. He was part of the occupying force. Not the same as Begin blowing up the King David Hotel.

The analogy is closer to Lieutenant Callan.
