Hmm. . . Didn't the Narodniks use that term about themselves, as some 
ultras did in the French Revolution?  On the other:  I am sympathetic to 
one's aims and not to the other's aims, but I don't see why blowing up 
French cafes in Algers is not "terrorist" while smashing into the World 
Trade Center is "terrorist."  By which definition?
