[quote:43e4b]The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.[/quote:43e4b]
That fits the bill of "surrender or we'll nuke you".[/quote:43e4b]
thats what you get using a generic online dictionary...
terror is defined by M-W as "a state of intense fear", terror-ism is self explanatory through that. Quit trying to weasle out of it, terrorism is not the apporopriate word to describe what we did in Japan..
