Nah, terrorism is associated with (defined by, actually) using fear to push an agenda or coerce a government. As in, "If we don't get what we want, we'll keep this up. Be afraid."

This guy had a beef with the IRS, had probably spent a bunch of time in that building getting pissed off about not being able to work it out, and took out his anger on them.

Where's the "terror" in that? It's no different than some nutjob shooting up his office, or crashing his car into something trying to cause damage/death.

I have to agree with everyone else. I don't know what else you would call it.

the highlight part is correct but the threat of keeping it up is not. Terrorism is simply using violence or the threat of it against innocent people to push your idea's, or agenda's.

He was pissed so he took his plane and flew it into a building of people to 'show' how messed up our Government and their tax laws are...

The problem is, the word "terrorism" is being overused, by people in both politics and private business who seek to profit from the public's fear of it.

I disagree with the premise that it has to be a continued series of events. It can be a single act. What Timothy McVeigh did in Oklahoma City was an isolated incident, but I don't see how you could define it as anything other than an act of domestic terrorism.

It was a Lear Jet, remotely controlled by the CIA. Anyone see Hangar 18?
