I see that my earlier one line comment has propelled many to respond, it is good that people here are able to engage in free speech instead of censoring people under the guise of 'terrrorism' (state terrorism).

This brief explanation of terrorism below will be educational ...

Terrorism has NO RELATIONSHIP with the magnitude of the number of victims or the level of terror delivered, it is ONLY dependent upon the IDENTITY of the victim and the perpratrators. So a Fighter Pilot are delivering far greater level of terror than any 'suicide' bombers dropping 500 pound plus bombs, killing far more civlians than all the suicide bombers combined are not terrorists, their actions are not terrorism. ....
