War mongering? All sides are slinging the word "terrorism" around too
loosely ever since 9/11.

I consider it terrorism to *deliberatly* target civilians in order to scare
a population into doing or not doing something. Guerilla warfare isn't
terrorism. Blowing up civilian busses is. There's a difference between
tageting civilians and "collateral damage".

I don't even see the Sept 11 *Pentagon* attack as "pure terrorism".
The Pentagon *is* a legitimate military target and if you work there, you
are part of the militarty structure. However the innocent people in the
plane that hit the Pentagon are such high "collateral damage" as to be able
to call it terrorism in light of the rest of the 9/11 attacks. If that
plane was empty - I'd label the Pentagon strike as a "sucker punch".

Really? It's not? What would Canada call it if NY State decided
Plattsburgh
needed to expand north into Quebec for maybe 8 or 30 or 100 miles?
