Would it have been called terrorism 20-30 years ago?

Likely it would have been called "a dumbass racist with a bomb in his pack"

The IRA was doing exactly this 20-30 years ago and yes, it was called terrorism then too.

Indiscriminately bombing crowds gives the bomber no control over who their victims will be. Murdering people at random doesn't allow for determinations of guilt or innocence.
