mISAPPROPRIATION*

The word terror has been appropriate by the new right. Whatever terror meant or signified before is now moot and irrecoverable. Terror: fear, horror, fright, dread, shock, panic, alarm; reign of terror, terrorism, intense fear and loathing; intense or overwhelming fear, violence or the threat of violence carried out for political purposes, a rabid dog that has become the terror of the neighbourhood; an annoying, difficult, or unpleasant person, particularly a naughty child. Act of Terrorism = Peacetime Equivalent of War Crime. Seems to rub both ways, the line between combatant and non-combatant obliterated for political/economic gain.
