Great points Mia.

The problem is that mainstream media focuses goes through "fads" of terrorism. The most direct enemy will receive the most "terrorist" press. So right now the Arabs are being labled "terrorists" largely in response to Gulf War I, 9/11 and Gulf War the Sequal.

In the 1980's there was a lot of American media on S. American and specifically Colombian, Nicaraguan and Salvadorian "terrorists".

And further back in the 1960's and 1970's when the British and American ties were much stronger the main press was Irish "terrorism"... remember all those movies "In the name of the father" where Irish terrorists were going to build nuclear bombs and blow up London and Washington?

The plot dosen't change only the names of the players.
