re: An interesting quote
Interesting indeed and generally the truth. Terrorism is indeed the war of the poor, and is conducted to extract media attention. You will note there is no such thing as covert terrorism with the state being the target.
I am fond of reprising my Gerry Adams quote that "one bomb in London is worth 20 in Belfast." Without media attention, terrorism has no purpose. On the other hand, State terrorism eschews media and works on eliciting fear from the focus of attention. Look at the example of the right-wing death squads of Latin America.
