If you are happy with the way that the second world war was won by the allies, Then you support the FIREBOMBING OF DRESDEN. That city was fire bombed strictly to cause HUGE CIVILIAN DEATHS.

If I use your yardstick for Hypocrisy, then if you are at all happy at the outcome of the second world war, and do not hold any and all responsible for the planning and execution of the firebombing raids on Germany, by your own standards, you are a Hypocrite. Terrorists ONLY understand terror, and must be dealt with through the means that they understand.

Ah, WTF? Did I ever say the Allies were blameless in their conduct? No.

You go ON AND ON AND ON about Vietnam even though nobody really cares at all and you just take every single thread as an opportunity to talk about yourself - by your own post above that would mean you support the events of My Lai or numerous other war crimes that are associated. I do think (and hope) that isn't the case, but that is what your own post just implied. What you are engaging in is called an association fallacy and a false dichotomy (AKA "You're either with us or against us").

People like Earth First hurt their own cause by making it easy to cast anyone with a similar view as a terrorist, because what they do is undeniably terrorism. When referencing terrorism, you can't pick and choose incidents to fit one side of a political view; it has to be all or nothing - that is, that terrorists who are on the same side politically are still just as much example as ones on opposite sides.
