why does the bbc call hamas a militant group instead of a terrorist group? tony blair did it in 2009. they're still starting wars and conducting terrorism against both israel and the palestinian people. is it purely because of the current PC trend?

got used to apple's not-laptop-speakers-in-laptops-anymore paradigm shift. the xps still has laptop speakers, so it's sort of obscene how not-a-comparison it is between the xps and the mbair/mbpro.
