2. These must be "good terrorists," or better yet, "freedom fighters."

As Israel destroys Gaza with high explosives and whines about terrorists, I think we would be better off if we simply removed "terrorist" and its variants from the discourse. Let the facts speak for themselves, enough with the terms of propaganda.

3. Would Iran now be justified in bombing the US?

Just asking.

4. US-supported terrorists, according to Seymour Hersh:

"One of the most active and violent anti-regime groups in Iran today is the Jundallah which describes itself as a resistance force fighting for the rights of Sunnis in Iran. “This is a vicious Salafi organization whose followers attended the same madrassas as the Taliban and Pakistani extremists,” Nasr told me. “They are suspected of having links to Al Qaeda.” The Jundallah took responsibility for the bombing of a busload of Revolutionary Guard soldiers in February, 2007. At least eleven Guard members were killed. According to Baer and to press reports, the Jundallah is among the groups in Iran that are benefitting from U.S. support.
