yes obviously

depends what side you're on

Nelson Mandela , Leader of the armed section of the ANC responsible terrorist acts in South Africa spent 26 years plus in prison ,renounced violence to reach a peaceful settlement ,universally mourned on his death

Martin Mcguinness, Leader of the IRA in Londonderry , responsible for terrorist Acts in Northern Ireland , renounced violence to reach a peaceful settlement , opinion divided on his death

Whats the difference between the two
