So now with 600 years of hindsight, is it safe to say that the ends justified the means? That any tactics can be justified if they are ends to a mean?

A different prespective to say the least.
Really, do we think that Islamic extremism will ever be defeated? I read an article yesterday from a former terrorist with the PLO, who said that children were being taught the Jihad while they are still in school.
Makes you wonder where the world will be going, considering how we value our moral sense on the battlefied above that of the terrorists.
Some people have even suggested that we will never defeat this enemy unless we're willing to fight the same way they are. You are 100% correct in saying that if the Western world would not have adopted the same terrorizing tactics during WW1 and WW2, we probably wouldn't be in this position right now.
