in that case, freedom of speech... yes... however that is not "state sponsored
aggression"... note the second paragraph below...

Defining War and Aggression

INSTITUTIONALIZED AGGRESSION
War-making by one state or insurgent group against another state or insurgent
group (1)
It is the use of armed force by a state against the sovereignty, territorial
integrity, or political independence of another state including:

 1. Invasion or attack by armed forces
 2. Or use of any other weapons
 3. Blockade of ports or coasts
 4. Attack on air forces or naval fleets (2)

Anthropologists warn us not to confuse the behavior of individuals with the
behavior of nation-states. State-sponsored aggression or war-making requires
more than the potential inclination to fight that may characterize individual
human beings. Among other things, war-making requires "a great deal of
stimulation of martial ardor playing on vanity, fear of contempt, family
attachment, group affiliation and loyalty, and so on." (1)

WAR CAN BE DEFINED AS...

    Violent conflict between organized groups (3)
    The conditions which permit two or more hostile groups to carry on a
conflict by armed force (4)
    A struggle for control of government within a governed society (2)
    A clash between major interests that is resolved by bloodshed (5)
    The continuation of politics by other means (5)
    Embraces more than politics: it is the expression of culture, in some
societies the culture itself (8)

SOME TYPES OF WARFARE:

    "Low-intensity conflicts" (insurgencies, organized terrorism, paramilitary
crime, sabotage, and other forms of violence in a shadow area between peace and
war) (6)
    Limited wars (wars involving one of the superpowers and a third party that
is contained within a well-defined area (wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Korea)
(7)
    Regional wars (fought within or along the boundaries of contending states)
(7)
    Civil wars (struggle for power within a state) (7)
    Wars of self-determination or national independence movements (7)
    Total wars (full mobilization of troops and use of all available weapons
and technology to defeat the enemy) (7)

WHERE DOES TERRORISM FIT IN THESE DEFINITIONS?
What do you think?
