That was a point made by Christopher Hitchens in an article, "Wanton acts of usage. Terrorism: A cliché in search of a meaning," which appeared in Harper's Magazine, September, 1986. Since that time, Hitchens seems to have a change of heart. As it so happens, I have a PDF of that article for those who are interested.

Moreover, the term has been "captured" by the ruling class for those it wants to stigmatize and kill. Needless to say, they don't consider Hiroshima or carpet bombing Vietnam or drones in Pakistan "terrorism." So I tend to avoid the term. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/farmelantj%40juno.com ____________________________________________________________ Penny Stock Jumping 2000% Sign up to the #1 voted penny stock newsletter for free today! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4be3149e6e83f35c292st05vuc ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
