Things aren't that cut and dried. Ever. EVER. Life doesn't HAVE blacks and whites. EVERYTHING is grey.

Can't call a terrorist a terrorist?
The Chinese oppose our hegemony and we don't call them terrorists now do we.
The Russians, hell even the French wish their part of the world power pie, and again we don't call them terrorists.
NO shade of grey here, THOSE ACTS, EVERY LAST ONE WAS DONE BY A TERRORIST OR TERRORISTS.
To use your words I find this 'telling' and quite honnestly frightening.
