I think it's important to distinguish non-violent civil disobedience from terrorism.

Civil disobedience warrants enforcement of the laws broken. Terrorism warrants massive response by the government and an effective strategy to neutralize those responsible.

The government of a "free" country will do some ugly things to combat terrorism. But if they do the same things to combat civil disobedience, it's not a free country anymore.
