As much as I despise terrorism, I have a hard time arguing against this point of view. For instance, under NAZI occupation, the french resistence would be called terrorists by today's standards. The US and Western Europe have been responsible for so much agression, invasion, and atrocities (i'm not gonna name them here, cuz it'll take a book) in the past few centuries around the world, it's really a tough sell to play the innocent victim now.
Take this simple point, why would anybody leave a rich life (bin laden) and devote himself to a life on the run and constantly facing death. Is it fun to be a terrorist? Sure doesn't look like it for all those suicide bombers.
I'm not making excuses, just want to know what would a plausible defense be against this argument.
