Acceptable Terrorism....?

Reading the reaction of Turks to a thread about the PKK started me wondering.
I am sure we all consider ourselves to be strongly against terrorism, but actually we just have double standards like everyone else.
Do you consider Nelson Mandela to be a terrorist?
Do you consider the ANC to be a terrorist organisation?
Do you consider British suffragettes such as Emmeline Pankhurst to have been terrorists?
If your answer is "no" to any of the above, please explain why it is different.
Actually, the only difference is that you either feel sympathy for their cause or not. You view some terrorists as victims fighting against all odds, and others as inhumane killers.
Interesting...

Acceptable terrorism is Turkish government killing and terrorizing Kurds for decades, unacceptable is Kurds retaliating.
Acceptable terrorism is the US, Britain, Israel and others terrorizing the Middle East, unacceptable is Arabs hitting Twin Towers.
etc etc...

Oh... it is also acceptable to train radical jihadists against Russia... not that cool when they turn against you!
Of course, one act of terrorism does not make another one more acceptable. But we should be honest about who the terrorists really are and who started it!!!

what nelson mandela did is acceptable for me because africans were living in really bad situations and as far as i know from documantariess they were treated so badly by white people. so they had to fight !!! becasue the country belonged to them!
PKK is not acceptable because they never defenced kurdish rights in a legal platform, they always faught and killed more than 20.000 people ( mostly kurdish people ) it would be just stupid to compare kurds in turkey and black people in South africa. Yes of course there are many problems that must be solved in turkey but we are not that bad!!! There is no slavery here... a kurdish can be president or prime minister or anything!!!
P.S. i am a kurdish ( not nationalist at all )

It is not a stupid comparison Ciko. It is fact. Until around 2003 (I don't have time to check the exact date!) Nelson Mandela was still listed by the US Government as a terrorist!!!!
You only see black and white according to the cause.
That is the point of my post
