I see that we have a different approach to the word "terrorism".

I'm surprised that the word "terrorism", "terrorist" is overused today. One kid slammed another in the face because he wants candy - school terrorism.

During the Indian wars in America, there were terror acts against civilians of both the settlers and the indians and that went on for 200 years.

Terrorism...For me it's genocide of ethnical background, crime.

The Vietcong used to butcher whole villages as examples to the rest of the population.

During a war I wouldn't speek of terrorism although it's a form of terror, no doubt.

During a war, occupation you need to separate the cases of "terrorising" the civilians collaborating with the enemy from any conotation with terrorism as we know it today. Focus the war on terror on real terror, not "terror".

That is typical of liberalism. If they cannot get their way, then they redefine everything to achieve their goal.

And how will you define terror tomorrow? It's little wonder we can discuss anything, since you want to change the language.

Raping the German women near the end of WWII was not terrorism...according to you.

The best double speak I've heard since reading 1984.
