What is Terrorism?

Isn't the "ultimate evil" always what "the other guy" is doing?

clipped from updoc1011.stumbleupon.com There will never be a winner because terrorism isn't an adversary -- it is a tactic. Peter Ustinov, the great European intellectual, put it this way: "War is the terrorism of the rich and powerful, and terrorism is the war of the poor and powerless." This word terrorism has been distorted beyond any further usefulness. Terrorism is what the other guy does.
