No, I told you, I reject the whole enterprise on the grounds that it's absurdly simplistic. There IS no one word that defines such a broad range of motivations and agendas. If you're looking for me to label them "terrorists", then I'll say this: they used terrorism as their technique for attempting to achive their various political ends.

The current political climate, in which it's American And Her Allies, versus The Terrorists is ridiculously simple-minded, and I won't buy into it.

I counter with this: are you willing to edit your OP to include the Boston Tea Party?
