Well, yes actually it does. 'Terrorist' was not always a blanket term, just as 'conservative' wasn't always interchangable with 'republican'. Words change because of their use, whether how it's used (it's meaning), or how often it's used (let's use the word terrorist from now on to describe people we don't like).
