FROM THE ARCHIVES: Why do we call our enemies terrorists as often as we do? At first glance, calling someone a terrorist seems to be a way to denigrate and diminish him. Terrorists are sneaky and invisible. They fight dirty. A terrorist lacks the nerve to put on a uniform and face his enemy directly. He plants bombs and attacks civilian targets. OK, one gets the point. But it’s possible that the word terrorist and its promiscuous use tell us more about ourselves than about our antagonists.
