Assignment:
Some terrorism analysts contend that the term "terrorist" is a tool used to demonize the opposing side. Accordingly, the only thing that separates a terrorist from a freedom fighter is the one who defines each as one or the other. Do you think that the term "terrorist" is a political tool that is used to diminish the legitimacy of the opposing side? In other words, do you believe that there is a difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter? If so, what is the difference? Can an act of terrorism be differentiated from an act of war? How and why?
