Airguard-

Whats the difference?

Both make demands under threat of violence.

Anything else is just window dressing.

ok i can agree terrorist are criminal in their act but they have diffrent motives for acting criminal.

and ofcourse I dont like either of them, they both are scum.
But the reason for their behaviour is not the same.
criminal do they stuff just for money and the other ****eheads it for political reasons (that suck big time)

there can never be a escuse for killing people like they do.

So if I get a divorce and lost custody of my daughter, and then abduct her, does that make me a terrorist?

Its a crime and the motive is not money.

You see how silly this can get?

I don't see anything political in this exemple.

isn't this more of a rectangle versus square argument?

by definition all terrorists are criminals: those who break the law

but not all criminals are terrorists.

and if i plant a tree and make the economic/political demand of having it never cut down then what am i?

So you are saying that the crew of the Pueblo were not held hostage by NK?

Could have sworn they were. Damn umpires need new glasses.
