Actually, anyone who deliberately uses terror to intimidate and control and drive out other people IS, in my opinion, a terrorist. This means that the following have been terrorists at various times in the recent past, and probably will be again:

Palestinian suicide bombers.

The Israeli Defence Forces and Police.

The USA Armed Forces.

Al Queda.

Hammas.

Saddam Hussein.

Hezbollah.

Islamic Jihad.

The Tamil Tigers.

The Sri Lankan Defence Forces.

The Taliban.

The Northern Alliance.

And so on, and so on, and so on....wherever you find innocent (or guilty) blood being spilled wantonly...there you have found terrorism.

The pot, as usual, is calling the kettle black. They're both black.
