MEK Definition
Hello!
Back to this webpage to use the Screenname for posting on Juan Cole's blog. I've just submitted a comment on Juan Cole's article on the pro-Likud agenda of the Conservatives and their relationship with the "terrorist" MEK as Juan Cole puts it:
---
Excellent definition of terrorism; in any sense of terrorism in your terms, the US would be a terrorist cult too, wouldn't it? We HAVE killed civilians in our pursuit of pinning down Osama Bin Laden/Al-Qaeda and Saddam/Baathists...You're missing the clause that a terrorist kills innocent civilians with intention and purpose, while the US and the MEK killed civilians unintentionally.
If they have killed civilians intentionally, please provide the readers with that bit.
----
I am perturbed by the ease with which the term "terrorism" is used today, and here was a great example.
