Just what IS terrorism?

I think that terrorist acts are an inherant part of any all out war. The goal of a war is to defeat your enemy. Part of that is to destroy the support for the war making activity, be it real infrastructure support (ie war supply factories and their civilian workers) or moral support (the civilian population in general).Also, I think the methods of war can certainly extend beyond military actions. What may be good old fashioned capitalistic compitition to one side may rightfully be viewed as economic warfare by the other.Might the economic sanctions that were imposed on Iraq be viewed as acts of economic war, and/or acts of economic terrorism?Moose{Of course, edited to change ID from the default admin mode - Moose}This message has been edited by minnemooseus, 11-14-2004 02:50 AM
