Listening to afternoon NPR story on the mixed blessings of Oil Deposits.

Example: Saudi Arabia- oil money can fund terrorists who, for example, recently targeted a member of the Saudi Royal Family.

Thought: Why, when you try and pop off Royalty, however ill or well conceived your plot, are you branded considered a terrorist?

~400 non-royal individuals lost their lives to violence in Philadelphia alone last year yet I have yet to hear a single perpetrator being labeled 'terrorist' or, if I do, it tends to be the type of informal labeling which happens on here or in off the cuff 'unofficial' PD statements.

It's probably because I don't listen closely enough, but, Why?
