To include your last point into this definition and also a mention elsewhere by Paul that he wants to separate purely criminal groups from terrorists,

there was a criminal car bombing against the police down here a while ago so I thought I'd better whack that in...

I'll expand it slightly to:

A violent irregular or guerrilla group with political aims that does not have a reasonable level of popular support and is not opposing a repressive or tyrannical regime OR a violent irregular or guerrilla group with political aims that uses certain (defined elsewhere) illegitimate means.

Getting close... but its late and I'm tired..I'll look into it later..

If we could get agreement from Paul that this is how he defines terrorism I think we might be able to put an end to this "definition" subthread.

I'd love that...

Now, what were we talking about before definitions took over?

Some book by some guy I think..
