This last word is a loaded one, mind you. I cannot condone any action that has the distinct purpose of causing fear. You cannot fight evil with evil. You cannot stop injustice with injustice. You cannot alleviate misery by causing misery. If you want to call it a military tactic, fine, but know that there is no good in war--no matter the circumstances.

All war is wrong. Sometimes it might be necessary, of course, but it's always wrong.

If you were a military officer and you constantly had friends running over IEDs and had no idea when and where you would run over one, would you be scared? If you heard about military installations being bombed, wouldn't you check before entering your barracks? That's terrorism.
