Political question.
 

Is a gunmen style assassination an act of terrorism?

I think almost anything could be terrorism. Its just a nice word that packs a hard punch.

I'm assuming you're referring to the Lebanese politician that was assassinated today and some are deeming it an act of terrorism. Lebanon is fucked. Hezbollah wants power and they're going to get it if it means whacking the last few cabinet ministers. Although, acts like this do rally the publics support against Hezbollah at the same time.

Only if it wasnt sponsored by the USA :)

I am, and I heard the T word again. Yet most everyone else was using the A word.
