I thought the movie was fantastic, one of the best movies I have ever seen. I like how the movie illustrated the difference between revolutionary and extremist terrorism.

For those who don't know the difference, revolutionary terrorism is destroying government buildings with the intent of causing minimal (the goal being zero) casualties, in order to foster support for a revolution against an oppressive government. Extremist terrorism is destroying buildings with the intent to cause as many casualties, especially civilian casualties, as possible, trying to make the people suffer for the actions of its government.

Extremist terrorism is obviously ethically wrong, but our government has tried to pin all forms of terrorism under the "evil" label, when clearly, revolutionary terrorism, properly implimented, can have massive positive effects in changing an oppressive regime.
