terrorism anybody?
 

thanks, but i think u'r definition is a little harsh. when u say that it's goal is bringing radical sect, what do u mean? weren those radical who're making terror?
defensive huh? terrosim isnt defensive, it's the country finghting against it, dont u think so?

Terrorism itself is "a little harsh". I fail to think of a definition that reflects the soft, cuddly side of terrorism...

Terrorism is a concept that's nearly impossible to define. I'd say that in a nutshell, it is attacks on civilians by paramillitary groups, with the intent of getting attention to their proclaimed cause.

me brainwashed or teorrorists? dont really catch that

Terrorism - a strategy to cause terror.
It is not restricted to "arabs against the rest of the world", but also works on a smaller scale like mobbing at your job, bullying in the schoolyard, employers blackmailing the personnel to accept cuttings or getting outsourced.
The more famous terrorism of groups like al-quaeda, IRA, ETA, sects, islamist lunatics, etc against random civilians does not only frighten everybody in our daily life, but undermines the structure and values of our democratic societies, when our freedom, tolerance and goodwill is suddenly under fire.
Look at all those patriot act and Guantanamo things, extensive precautions by civil, police and military authorities, video surveillance, tapping into phone calls, hefty inspections at airports and trigger happy police.
National autorities, originally meant to guarantee our liberal lifestyle, have to cut down the very same liberalty and became dragged down to the same terrorist level as those original terrorists. Gouvernements are already being accused of terrorism themselves, like torturing (il)legal prisoners - some laws are getting bent and stretched in the process, lawsuit proceedings getting delayed and deadlines between arrest and arraignment get prolongated.
What causes terrorists to terrorise us? From brainwashed suiciders, religious sick maniacs, pervert stalkers, petty fighting for dominance in schoolyards and getting your workmate's job to "counter-terrorising" gov'ts' secret servicees - take your pick.
