Do we have a clear definition of what 'terrorism' is?

Nowadays it's pretty subjective.

One of those red-letter days where I agree with the Hugster.

WE, for example, are never terrorists.

Careful.

That's Min's equivalent of, "Hello sailor!"

First mistake.  History shows that armies are primarily instruments of terrorism aimed at controlling the population.
