No. It induced no terror (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=terror) ("Intense, overpowering fear") in people. Vandalism, theft, destruction of property, treason (perhaps), yes. Terrorism, no.

Terrorism isn't about destroying stuff. It's about scaring people. It may involve destroying stuff.

Terror requires fear, the GWB is a huge terrorist.

And what's your alert status today? Mine is Puice.
