I'm not sure that all of them meet the definition of "terrorism" though - putting a bullet into a country's leader doesn't directly instill fear that the same snipers will target the general population next. Though I'll grant you that the napalm and Agent Orange in southeast Asia qualifies as eco-terrorism, and we have a bad record for installing regimes that then turn to terror tactics to maintain power.... Calling everything "terrorism" merely abuses the word, and makes it hard to talk about either terrorism or the non-terrorist things that have been lumped under the word.
