Sometime ago I read a whining by some yankee nut about
the old claim that "Another man´s terrorist is another
man´s freedom fighter." The yankee just couldn´t swallow
it, living in a black-and-white world, like most of the
yankees do. (Of course, there are millions and millions
of yankees who are not like this, but in a country of
almost 300 million people, they just don´t matter.)

Of course, it isn´t just that another person´s terrorist
can be a hero to somebody else; it´s not uncommon that a
somebody can be called a terrorist and then a freedom
fighter - or the other way around - by the same people,
as their views or interests change. And as we are living
in a post-colonial era - a neo-colonial era if those
idiots singing the need for an "American Empire" would
prevail - there are huge numbers of leading politicians
around the globe who have in some part of their life
carried both tags.
