Difference: The kid killed only himself. When you kill others while telling people to read the Koran you are a terrorist. However, in my opinion the kid was also a terrorist. He praised Usama bin Laden and flew into the Bank of America building

In that case, do you call the two guys that dragged that black man to death in Jasper Texas terrorists? And what about Klebold and Harris at Columbine? I consider them criminals, not terrorists.

Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

Thanks. You made my point. Unless the FBI finds something that we havent heard about yet, the LAX shoting, the kid raming the plane into the Florida building, the Jasper TX draging death, and the Columbine killings are all criminal acts committed by evil or incredibly sick people, not terrorists. Some here cheapen the war on terrorism by making every act of violence committed by an arab for non monetary reasons, a terrorist act. A crime yes. A hate crime, yes. A terrorist act. Doubtful. A terrorist act that parts of an organized conspiracy? NOT LIKELY.
