To Yogi who wrote: "In general war is overt and terrorism is covert."

So, by your definition, the CIA is a terorrist organization. The US Navy Seals are a terrorist organization.

You also wrote: "Terrorism is the act of inciting fear in a target group" and "War is the act of directly changing the behavior of the target group by force."

Obviously you have never found yourself in combat. My memories include quite a bit of fear. And an awful lot of trying to make the other guy more afraid than I was.

Come on folks ... surely you can think more deeply than these sound byte phrases.
