The ignorance of some that post here shines through as brightly as the sun on a warm day.
Looks like a new day means a new definition needed for the disillusioned:
Terrorism as defined by the US Federal Criminal Code:
... activities that involve violent… or life-threatening acts… appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping
Someone explain to me how the Pirates taking over ships for nothing more than profit is terrorism.
The Somalians are no different than bank robbers on steroids. They aren't trying to affect government policy or incite fear into the population. They are trying to extort money from companies.
They aren't terrorists, they're extortionists.
