See...I saw it a little differently. I wasn't looking at V like a terrorist but more as a liberator. Yeah, he blew up a few empty buildings and killed a few people, but he did it with an ideal and for the greater good (at least I thought so). So for me it brought up the issue of exactly what is a terrorist? Do the actions define the name or does the outcome? In the movie V employs terrorist tactics but only to help his country so it's kind of weirdly duplicitous.
It also brought up the issues of government propaganda and how far a government will go to sustain itself no matter how ridiculous the lie it has to tell or how horrible the act it has to do. Ultimately I think it goes to show that people in other parts of the world look at these issues with a lot more intellectual thought than we do.
