But words have meanings, and terrorism is no exception. I still stand by my previous statement that the current situation doesn't fit the commonly understood meaning of terrorism. Calling something terrorism when it doesn't fit the word's commonly understood meaning is not helpful, imo.

i recommend checking out the page Iinked in my previous post for a fuller explanation of what terrorism is and what it isn't.
