What is terrorism?

Inflicting damage on innocent people? Who is innocent? Are you? Look at the clown that's running America. He has created an enemy of you, but you let him.

Terrorism is subjective. During the 70's Nelson Mandela was a terrorist. The ANC threw grenades into churches where the 'enemy' prayed, they threw grenades into 'bars' where the enemy drank, and put bombs outside the schools where the enemy learned. Well let's just look at these terrorists today. Mandela is a hero of the highest order. All that's changed is the point of view, which side you're looking from. If you attempt to dominate you are creating oppression, if you attempt to empathise you create harmony. I know great Americans, I know great Jews and I know great Arabs. Not all Americans are as thick as Bush, not all Jews are greedy and not all Muslims are terrorists. Most Americans, Arabs and Jews just want a nice place where they can bring their kids up in peace, pray to their gods and experience community. The real terrorists are those that consistently make decisions that are motivated by greed and self rightiousness, be they politicians, corporate shareholders or religious fanatics.
