It's Mr Whish-Wilson not Ms. His name is Peter and he's known as the senator surfer. He was formally in defence force and banking and I think he was working for Merril Lynch when the WTC towers were attacked.

No offence, just adding some info about the senator.

Hahahaha....maybe you need to stop assuming and sprouting off on here?

First it was a rant on a family forced to live on under $500 a fn, then you later "presumed" that the mother must get payments also.....and now this 😄

terrorism is to intimidate by overt use of deliberate terror tactics. Casualities as collateral, even if by poor judgement and negligence is not the deliberate use of terror.

Hence the tern is being used correctly. It is incorrect to use against peacekeeping forces.

It is about terror being used as intent not as a consequence

So what is the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter.

Was EOKA a terrorist organization?

Was Ergun a terrorist organization

Were the men who fought in the Easter Uprising in Ireland in 1916 terrorists?

Was the Coalition of the Willing a peacekeeping force?

So was the bombing of Guernica http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Guernica an act of terrorism, or was the terror and destruction  unleashed on  defenceless civillians there merely the consequence of a legitimate act of war - and does the same answer apply to the London Blitz and the bombing of Dresden?

Something has to be done about ISIL but we have no right to claim any moral high grounds.  There were plenty of atrocities committed by people on "our side" in not so distant past.

Killing unarmed civilians is horrible be it now or 4 years ago.  Is beheading a man worse than killing whole family, including children, raping the 14 years old and setting her body on fire?  The question is if beheading 2 journalist make all Muslims barbarians, by the ame logic, what does the rape and massacre make Americans?

It should not be us = "the civilised" world against them = "Muslims".  It is us all against people who will stop at nothing to get what they want; be it Putin or ISIL.
