"Do you condemn the groups i listed? The Zealots, The Sons of Liberty, Irgun, The Contras...

You didn't provide examples for me, you just stated what so and so had to say about them. I will me happy to condemn any acts that fit the definition I offered you, whether it was by members of these groups or by my sweet little old granny.

"Was dropping a nuclear bomb on Nagasaki terrorism by your definition?

Yes. I don't hesitate to condemn the decision to drop nukes on cities of civilians with no military target.

By that definition, the Cold War was a "terror" war,
and the U.S. and U.S.S.R. were both "terrorists".

If one side launched first against the other (a "terror"
attack), then the other side would not hesitate to
respond with a "terror" attack of similar magnitude!
