<terrorism, I am willing to discuss it using any objective definition you provide> Very clever. We both know, that if they commit themselves to any specific definition, you or I can come up with 20 examples of where the U.S. (or Israel, or England, or their client states) did terrorism. 20, without looking anything up. A lot more, if we do a little research. Here's my definition: terrorism is a label I use to de-humanize my political opponents, and solidify domestic support for unlimited violence against Them. If I agree with the terrorist's politics, then they are Freedom Fighters. The word is a curse, with high emotional content, most useful if no precise definition is done.
