Glory to terrorism

OK chaps, last chance to glorify terrorism.

Glory, glory, in no particular order, to:

General Augusto Pinochet of Chile
Islam Karimov of Afghanistan
President George W Bush of the US of A
President Ariel Sharon of Israel
Osama bin Laden of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe
Prime Minister Anthony Blair of Great Britain
Mohammad Sidique Khan of West Yorkshire
President Vladimir Putin of the USSR
That Christian git who wanted to murder President Chavez
Radovan Karadic and Vlatko Mladic of Serbia

Please add to the list. Candidates for glorification must conform to the definition of terrorism proffered by the United States' ambassador to the United Nations:
“We affirm that the targeting and deliberate killing by terrorists of civilians and noncombatants cannot be justified or legitimized by any cause or grievance. And we declare that any such action intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants, when the purpose of such an act, by its nature or context, is to intimidate a population or to compel a government or an international organization to carry out or to abstain from any act, cannot be justified on any grounds and constitutes an act of terrorism." [lifted from A big stick and a small carrot].
