I think a reasonable person would be able to see a pattern develop without having the bar set quite that high.
Okay I wont raise the bar that high. Where was THE OTHER airport attack in the US on the 4th, or did the FBI cover that one up better than LAX?
Al Queda only attacked ONE destroyer of ours. What on earth does the number of attacks have to do with whether an action is terrorism or not? Calling the guy a lone nut doesn't change the nature of what he did.
You continue to impose artificial limits in your attempt to frame the discussion.
Does an event have to occur at an airport for your criteria to be satisfied?
Does it have to occur in the US?
Did it have to occur on 7-4?
Several other incidents have occurred this week. (Ukraine - missile & Algeria - bomb)
IMO It's safe to say that several common threads will be proven to have run through these events.
If it is a question of semantics, for future reference, I'll be using the (blunt & direct) Israeli definition of terrorism when I address this issue.
