    Terrorism is as old as politics.

    Would the Trojan Horse be considered an act of terrorism?

By spunky on Wednesday, May 7, 2003 - 10:43 am:

    Probably.
    I would think terrorism should be defined as not part of a military action taken by a government, so maybe not by that definition....

    But probably.

    This particular act appears to be domestic terrorism.

By semillama on Wednesday, May 7, 2003 - 12:27 pm:

    I dunno. I think the intent and the target are the definers of an act of terrorism, not so much the perpetrators.

    If terrorism is an act of violence against a noncombatant population in order to influence a certain desired ploitical outcome, then you can't exclude government acts from that.

    that makes sense

    spunk, go read Joesph Conrad's The Secret Agent (or see the movie) and if you still havent put a shotgun up your rectum by the end you might enjoy a tale, based loosely on events in late 19th century England when Anarchists were terrorizing the monarchy there. I believe there was an actual incident in which there was an attempt made to bomb the clocktower in Greenwich....(i.e. Greenwich Mean Time.)

    Wow. I started to read the failure of Christianity article in there, but it really makes you think. Not that I agree with all that she has to say but she makes some very valid points.
