I don't think the concept of terrorism is flawed - the definition has just been given an Orwellian twist by both government and media so that state terrorism does not seemingly exist. Violence comitted by us is done in the name of "liberation" - by "them" in the name of terror. I suppose it depends which barrel of the gun you are looking down - one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. An interesting debate.
