Terrorism Vs. Asmmetrical Conflict : 1972 Olympic Masacre (Munich)

Terrorism vs. asymmetrical conflict: The 1972 Munich Massacre Ever since September 11th at 8:45am, when the North Tower of the World Trade Center was struck by American flight 11, the word terrorism has taken on a whole new meaning, especially to us as Americans. In the past when we would hear of terrorism it always seemed to be taking place in the Middle East, African Embassy's, or Northern Ireland. It never really appeared to directly affect us …

…now that's not terrorism", that's just part of war. You know what they maybe right, but I personally feel that you can't really say what is or is not terrorism until it happens to you.
