All governments support whoever is going to further their cause.<br/><br/>Terrorism is violence for political ends according to most dictionary definitions. That covers a hell of lot of ground and certainly covers any time any state hands money, equipment, training, support etc to any kind of group which is committing violence.<br/><br/>Have a look at what is really going on in Syria if you want to see state sponsored terrorism. Or just see what happens when someone tries to tell a cop that they don't consent to being policed or governed. (Consent is necessary if there is no harm, loss or fraud to another living soul)<br/><br/>M.
