From your reference: "Today's terrorists are to be exterminated. No negotiations, no empathy, no quarter." Sounds like al qaeda babble.

You still have not defined terrorism, nor have you said that the examples I presented are or are not terrorist acts. "I don't consider efforts on the part of the good guys to win a war as trying to achieve a political or religious goal." Are you talking about WWII or Bush's Iraq war? "If you want to continue sympathizing with evil as an effort to elevate...." Generally an ad hominem attack is a sign of a lack of a sound argument. " I define sympathizing with evil as efforts to understand why they are evil." Is your definition of terrorism "that which is evil"? If so then the resistance fighters of WWII were evil since they were defined by the nazis as terrorists. A stand point that I disagree with.
