“Discussion of terrorism is full of moral outrage and fear because it is cloaked in secrecy and attacks either ordinary citizens or political leaders. Yet it is hard to see what is more outrageous or frightening about a bomb placed under a car or in a bus, than a missile that comes out of the sky. War is hell when it strikes, regardless of how it strikes.”
--The Penguin Atlas of War and Peace Dan Smith
This is why I do not understand the dividing of who is a terrorist and who is a freedom fighter, democracy-bringer, etc.
