The Song "Wish You Were Here" By Pink Floyd Is About Terrorism.
Whenever I discuss the entente of "Wish You Were Here", no one ever mentions terrorism; but that's what I think the song is about.

The era it was written in had little experience of terrorism in the form it takes today.
Sid Barrets terrorists were of the mental depiction. In that respect, it could be about terrorism.

Roger Waters says that the inspiration was Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett.

 The entire album itself was dedicated to the departure of Syd Barret; but I think the song has allegorical implications concerning terrorism. If you explicate it; metaphors are easily seen.
