>>The WAT effort has in fact been hijacked in all nations (incl. Russia and China), in varying degrees, for much less noble purposes.<<

Agreed. One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. The Israelis have made a particularly cynical use of the WAT.

It's interesting to remember that the US was born out of terrorism in what was, at that time, a civil war. A solid minority - perhaps 20% - of the US population in the mid-1770s was loyal to King George III. Georgia, New York and South Carolina, as well as Massachusetts and New Jersey, were Loyalist strongholds where as much as one-third of the population was against colonial independence. More than 30,000 Americans took up arms in support of the British Crown and more than 100,000 Loyalists were eventually killed or forced to emigrate, many to Canada.
