1. Humans are physically some of the weakest animals there are, incapable of surviving without tools or weapons in the wild.

That's because instead of evolving muscles for strength we evolved brains to be able to use complex tools. You don't need to be able to rip apart wooly mammoths with your bare hands if you've invented the knife.
But getting back on topic to the whole terrorism debate:
I've always believed that "terrorist" and "freedom fighter" were flip sides of the same coin. It just depends on your perspective.
Try and find any freedom fighter in the whole of human history. It could be the Zapadistas (or whatever they're called), Judah Maccabee, Sheik Yassin, or even Jesus if you want. By the very fact that they are Freedom Fighters it means that they are fighting against someone. Now to that perspective they are terrorists.
YOU can say that Bin Laden is so bad that he can't be compared to anyone else but I'm sure that the Mexican government would have no problem saying that the Zapa's are worse than he is simply because they target them and Bin Laden has'nt given Mexico any trouble at all. And similarly Australia hates Jemaa Islamia, England hates the IRA and Spain hates ETA. But then to the Indonesian Mulsims, the nationalist Irish and ETA's supporters they are all freedom fighters and martyrs.
