my commentary to kholt (whose response i was seeking)

Sorry, didn't mean to be unresponsive. It just seemed like I had missed the boat so I didn't chase after it. So back to your original point.

conflate the acts of terrorism to acts of 'protest' is the height of political spin

I think that's a possible explanation. The world is complicated and a lot of things are connected to a lot of other things in various way. If you focus on A, then B looks like a subset of A. If you focus on B, then A looks like a subset of B. To a certain extent I think that's legitimate. To a mayor, a house looks like a part of the community. To a real estate broker, it looks like a part of his income. It's wen the broker denies that the house is not, in essence, part of his income that we have an anomaly, IMO.

I think that it's valid to say that there is an underlying element of protest in terrorism. You can't legitimately divorce the two just as you can't legitimately conflate them.
