Why do you think there were attacks on 9/11 and before? Why do you think Hezbollah is attacking Israel? Why do you think the IRA bombed the UK for decades?
It says a lot for the "civilized world" that there is even such a thing as "terrorists". Obviously it's not as civilized as we may wish to think, otherwise there would be no reason for anyone to become a "terrorist".
Dressing up guys in uniforms and trying to claim these are the "legal version" and all others are "illegal" is almost adopting the habits of an ostrich. The "military" kills far more innocent people on mass than any terrorist group on the planet. It is also not unheard of for the military to simply murder individuals in countries of occupation.
There was never any problem supporting "terrorists" in the past - from the IRA to bin Laden against the Russian army. What's changed?
As long as there is oppression, threats, occupation blah - there will be "terrorists" - it's nothing new. It's never a simple one-sided story.
George may be vocal and perhaps a bit blunt, but he's not stupid.

I don't think you're very educated in terms of history. That comment that you made about bin Laden's people killing Russians shows that. If you'd knew anything about that conflict you wouldn't be stupid enough to say something like that.
Also, you haven't read my post. So, let me repeat it in a shorter version so you can read it in its entirety before hitting the reply button:
TERRORISTS: target civilians and innocent people on purpose
MILITARY: never target civillians or innocent people ( yes, innocent people die during military actions but never on purpose )
