Is terrorism getting boring? (II)

My friend, retired
Army Col. Bob Killebrew, in response to my question (above) of the other day, writes:

The answer is, it is
as 'terrorism' per se, but it's not
when you consider what it's becoming. Terrorism is becoming part, perhaps the
major part, of a mix of terrorism, crime and illicit states that will challenge the rule of law and
international order in the 21st century.
