but I believe you, slap and Zenpundit are giving nutcases more credit than they deserve. You may certainly call it terrorism but I doubt anyone other than the specific victims at the time were anywhere near terrorized...
As you say:Seems to me that is true and thus we're describing abberant actions that do not reach a threshold of inspiring terror....None appear to have acted as part of an organized group or had a realistic hope that their actions would achieve any kind of political objective...
I think the only reason to call those acts terroristic is for political purposes...
