"Terrorism"

I am listening to a Radio 4 "Start the Week" debate on "terrorism".
These are some points about "terrorism" in my view:-

- in a sense, there is no such thing as "terrorism" - there is only war.....
  In other words so-called "terrorism" cannot be distinct or distinguished from "war", unless possibly we are talking about a specific tactic.
- there is state terrorism and non-state terrorism and state terrorism is historically far worse.
