terrorism is what is done by people you (or at least the govt) don't
like.
if we get back to the roots of "terrorism"--it would seem that the
object of terrorism is to terrify. it's not done to keep the train
from getting somewhere, but to make a statement, like "we're the
anarchists, so don't mess with us".
whereas sabotage, it seems to me, would have as its aim the stopping
of the train or the downfall of amtrak or some such thing.
lynne, who hasn't heard anything about amtrak derailings
