No need to be "sorry" this is what civilized people do, they converse.

But lets not forget that any form of armed conflict can be viewed as a terrorist based on the perception at the time one reviews it. When we look back to the great Roman Empire, their acts of war terrorized many yet it is overlooked as being terrorism. I guess we could view it as a fine line between war and terrorism but what exactly is the criteria to judge a cross over from terrorism to the ultimate of war...

While I'd like to continue, I have to be on my way to work.
