you don't seem to know what a terrorist "is". A terrorist with pornography, that I would know when I saw it. A terrorist is someone who inspires terror. Beyond that I'm not sure what it is. Does the motive come to play? How do you tell a terrorist from a violent criminal? Does state sponsorship come to play? A Navy Seal would strike fear into a lot of people, especially if they were mistaken for Bin Laden while gathering scrap metal. Is a scientist working on shaped charges which could pierce armour or compress plutonium a terrorist? When I look at North Korea I see a country on the verge of collapse. It is badly run, beligerent, and dangerous. I haven't seen anything that seems to fit the definition of terrorist. What are we fighting? beligerence or terrorism? Who's next on the list? Quebec? they're kind of beligerent once in awhile. TP
