I don't know whether or not the DC area shootings are Middle-Eastern terrorism or not, but they certainly look like some kind of terrorism to me. Let's see, random people murdered, with no obvious gain to the murderer (i.e., robbery, rape, sick pleasure in watching people die, etc). Yup, I'd say that's terrorism.

What worries me is that even if it's not Al Qaeda or related organizations, they may see what a furor it's caused, and how apparently easy it is, and the light bulb (albeit a dim, five-watt one) goes off above their heads...
