Re: Thank you for the Frederick Douglass quote
"Terrorism" is a pejoritive term used to describe the action of someone/group you don't like doing (or threatening to do) to someone you do like.
With this in mind, we have to realize a significant number of people and nations world-wide consider the US as terrorists, and George Bush as the chief terrorist.
Some time ago if found over 140 different definitions for the term terrorism. The US state department generated six different ones. The Israeli Johnathon Institute developed their own. None of these covered Latin-American state authored terrorism, surrogate terrorism, or state-sponsored terrorism.
Mis-use makes terrorism a rather meaningless term.
