Bushies would call the American Revolution "terrorism".
Israel also began as "terrorists" blowing up buildings.

I guess no one is allowed to be freedom fighters anymore. Any revolutionary group that challanges the status quo is automatically "terrorist". SO what if renegade Cubans starting bombing Castro? Would they be terrorists too?

The word "terrorist" has been way over-used, especially by Bushies. I have no idea if the Tamil Tigers are enemies of ours or not. But certainly the rebellion in East Timor against the oppressive Indonesian regime (which we supported along with Exxon) were not "terroriosts", though they were described as such. All they were were freedom fighters wanting their little country back. Also, during Saddam's rule, the Kurds were considered "terrorists" by many, as were the militant Shias Bush has now put in power.
