Well now, maybe I'm missing something. I know I'm a bit of an enigma, being a gun-loving liberal for example, but I still have a hard time understanding any allegation of tastelessness. Here's my thinking: If someone invaded my country, I'd fight them. Plain and simple. So, then you could call me a terrorist (if you were a citizen of the invading country and your so-called "president" had broad worldwide unpopularity and you needed to call me a terrorist in order to create the misimpression that your so-called "leader" was doing the right thing), or an insurgent or a freedom fighter. Heck, you could call me a bunny rabbit and I'd still try to kill you if you were invading my country.

But hey, I think I might be a reasonable (if dim-witted, of course) liberal at least in the minds of a few misguided centrists and righties, and it seems to me that nobody likes terrorist. And nobody should. So, a car bomber blowing himself up probably is not going to raise anybody's ire. Right? I mean, there are no private nonprofit agencies springing up to defend the lifestyle of terrorists. Right?

So, I say it's just funny.
