- No a terrorist is someone who's modus operandi is to instill terror.
- Political terrorists do it by killing people. Eco-terrorists do it

- population.

- Umm .. the eco-terrorists _do_ refer to nuclear supporters in these
- terms, it's part of the terror inducing paradigm, to assume that
- anything 'nucular' is capable of destroying Earth.
