To call some acts "terror" is to pretend that (say) being shot at on a conventional battlefield is NOT terrifying. Huh?

@polyparadigm Actually the word "civilian" is almost as bad as "terrorist." There are no innocent civilians in a democracy. All condone war. -
@vgr It's used badly in media, but others use it to mean "the yet-to-be-drafted/trained", or (less meaning) "currently-unmobilized" - Show replies

@vgr "Terror" used as a snarl word, carries little meaning (most journos imply only Islam + violence + disapproval). Robespierre meant more.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
