" We're fighting terrorism and militant Islam, and those regimes that sponsor them ". That was certainly the goal from the outset, kind of. I believe the term " harbour " them was initially used.I also believe it was intended to imply those terrorists that were responsible for the 9-11-01 attack, without prejudice John has the same concerns I've had from the outset.The generic term terrorist so describing any person or group who for whatever motive engages in acts normally defined as terrorist activities against any other person - group - state - country . It's incredibly broad when you think about it. Not only that, it somewhat gives a green light to any other country..etc... to define those who resist the doctrines of ANY state as being terrorists. China can now dictate that any hostile activity against its state can be defined as terrorism.The terms " rebels and antagonists, and maybe even freedom fighters " have been cast into the generic word pile under terrorists. Tis a brave new world.
