that's a surprising thing to hear. where do you draw the line between terrorism and war? I see a distinction without much of a difference.
- chii 7mo agoit's indeed a distinction without a real difference, but terrorism is specifically targeted at civilians to produce some political outcome. It's wild to suggest that terrorism against the US should not be responded with by military action - it's only the degree and targets that should be under debate.

- hermannj314 7mo agoThe difference between war and terrorism is what language you use to say "God wills it" If you say "Deus Vult", you are a war hero. If you say "Inshallah", you are a radical terrorist. The rules are quite simple.
- andruby 7mo agoProbably not a perfect line, but one way to differ both is wether the action was done by a Country (Nation) vs a "militant" group.
