one man's terrorist attack is often another's pre-emptive strike.

If you re-read my reply to Alcaray you should see that is exactly what I was saying.

The distinction still remains that Begin gave an evacuation warning and the Britisn military were among the few that did not heed the warning.

Weddings and picnics have been Palestinain targets without anything newsworthy beyond the senseless of the act but if you don't see any difference that's fine. Your opinion doesn't offend me, I just don't agree.

My definition of pure unarguable terrorism is an attack that is directed specifically against a target that has no strategic value and consists of only non-government and non-military civilians. Picnics, weddings, and Bar Mitzvahs would usually fall into that category.

In spite of the news value of an attack on Harrads, I personally doubt the value of such an attack in the long haul.
