Separatist vs Terrorist

[jbauer]

Could someone please explain to me what the difference between a Separatist and a Terrorist is?

Follow up: Why are the Russians that shot down the plane called Separatists but a dude in the desert riding a camel is called a Terrorist?

Bonus Points: Why do the Dem’s and a large contingent of the GOP refer to the Teapartiers as Terrorists rather than Separatists?

Most of the answers can be found in the latest edition of the Newspeak dictionary, comrade.

I think the difference is that Russia has nukes, so they tread more lightly with their rhetoric.

It was a rhetorical question. But if you ask your neocon friends it really makes em think. Very funny to hear the gears grind and see the smoke come out their ears.
