How many people risked their lives and the lives of their children to float across many miles of warm caribbean shark infested waters in makeshift rafts to reach the Florida Keys just for the taste of freedom?

How many people go the other way? :-)

Re: [One man's 'Terrorist' is another's 'Freedom Fighter'.] "Not at all true unless you assign egocentric values to each side..."

'Egocentric values'?

(I have no idea what you mean by that....)

"...freedom is freedom no matter how you slice it."

Sure!

But EVERYBODY says they are 'fighting for freedom'!

The Bay of Pigs fighter (& 'American ally') guy who blows up the airliner full of civilians (along with the government officials going to the Olympics), 'Freedom for Cuba!', as well as the Kurd who blows up Turkish military (who have been repressing the Kurdish people....)

That's what they all claim.
