You’re such a cos-player! Is that an albino pimento olive to the left of Stacie or is it an albino breast?

Terrorists, by definition, have political aims for their actions, but that isn’t the only way the word is being used these days. Much of the violence in Iraq right now is secular in nature, which would imply that the folks doing it aren’t terrorists — heck, Osama bin Laden claims to be motivated by his religious views, so even he isn’t a terrorist. Most people use terrorist to mean a person who uses violence and intimidation in the pursuit of their goals, and by that definition what he did certainly qualifies.

I believe his rant also said he hated Jesus Christ (besides also hating everyone else). The murders were clearly not committed in the “name of” Jesus Christ or God, nor was Cho associated with any apocalyptic Christian organization, or with any local Christian church for that matter. The complaints about hedonism didn’t talk about how Christians make do with less, either.

As a lover of true crime, there is also a huge difference in m.o. and motive between mass killers, serial killers, and terrorists. They all kill multiple people socially unconnected to them, but they’re different.
