it seems that when you run into basic questions of political philosophy (how to generate typologies) and you try to address those questions, things can blow up.
it is better, apparently, if your categories are derived from the dominant frame of reference--which is itself the result of political actions--largely motored by the right
(if you control the frame of reference you control people's worlds---definitions of the types at play in a debate are one result of that control)
as for the car bomb metaphor: maybe yes, maybe no.
