That being said, I'm not trying to dictate who anyone's hero is. What I object to is the moral relativism of the statement. The idea behind, "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," is to question people's ability to make moral judgments. Sure, the Palestinians see this monster as a hero, but that doesn't mean that decent people have to accept the correctness of the Palestinian position. I'm sure there were some nuts who thought Timothy McVeigh was a hero. I have no interest or right to dictate their thoughts, but I sure as hell can comment on them.
