"Terrorists are civilians."

Doesn't take much thread following to figure out you were off-base
with that definitive, and incorrect, statement.


Actually, that determination requires that you ignore the thread.

No, having read the thread it appears that you were a bit quick to make a
definitive statement; had you put a "sometimes" in front of your
declaration, it would have been A-OK. Since you have not objected to the
idea that sometimes terrorists are *not* civilians, we'll chalk it up to
your poor choice in wording. Everyone who posts is sometimes guilty of being
a bit less than clear with their wording at one time or another, and most of
us admit it when it happens--why you can't seem to do so is a question for
which I really don't care to know the answer. Adios.
