who is a terrorist?this question comes to mind because you hear on the media and the press ,the U.S call the arabs terrorist.true they get involved in some terrorist acts ,but is the US itself not a terrorist.going into iraq against all wishes to removed a so-called terroist supporter and keeper of weapon of mass destruction.all based to me,some false allegation.Do we they say becos the west controls the media and the economy of the world they call their opponents terrorist.but nobody calls them terrorist when they committ the same crime as thier opponents.i need some objective discussion.

who is a terrorist is a difficult question to to respond for its diffficlut to know who is a terrorist,to know their location is as difficult knowing their means of operation.terrorist are generally known for the actions which they do and the activities they carried out.
a country cannot be a terrorist neither a people are terrorist.the calling of the arabs as terrorist is because of the actions they have been involve in. one thing you have to note is the different forms of terrorism.there is state sponsored terrorism which the western countries have been part of for several years now.
its not that they do not call western countries terrorist.they have long beeen involve in terrorist and that account for the reason why terrorist activities are directed towards their economies.

Asking what is terorism. Answer is simple and i will give it:
TERROR = PARALYSING FEAR
TERRORISM = A ACTIVITY TO IMPOSE PARALYSING FEAR ON OTHERS, WHICH "YOU" AS TERRORIST WANT TO INFLUENCE.
TERRORIST = PERSON, INDIVIDUAL WHICH IS PERFORMING ACTS OF TERRORISM.
--------------------------------------------------------
That covers the vocabulary. Now we go forward.
Q: Can terorism be done by anybody?
A: YES !!
Q No way, u r joking...
A: No i am not
Q: ANYBODY.. as even governments?
A: YES, EVERYBODY - Ur goverment, ur priest, ur schoolteacher, ur babysitter, ur mother and father, ur grandpa and grandpa and of course, ur ex girlfiend !
Q: No way, how can we defend from it?
A: By living in bomb shelter .. no, by financial, diplomatic and social development. Force creates anti-force.
Q: How could America win "war on Teror" ?
A: By quitting it officially and continuing it Un - oficcially. You know the game.
Q: What can i personally do about it?
A: Nothing, but you can go to demonstrations which are going to be ignored or sign few useless petitions.
Q: Can we get along with one another, if we think different things and we dont like what eachother is doing?
A: No we cant, and we should not be.
Q: What do YOU propose for a solution?
A: Spread the culture of non-conditional non-violence
Q: Whats that supposed to mean?
A: It means you have low intellectual abilities to understand it means to promote peacefull behaviour in any situation.
Q: If terorists originate from certain group of people, must i hate them all?
A: No, thats not really nice thing to do. But keep an eye on them. Better prevent than heal.
Q: If i become a high ranking politician, what must i do to curb terorism?
A: Promote non-violent behaviours. Be against death penalty. Be a good example. Be gentle and polite to women and kids. Talk polite. Dont curse. Be a good diplomat. Make urself popular in every place on the planet.
Q: Message at the end?
A: Stay cool. (Peace out).
Ave Futuria

Who is the terrorist? The question is irrelevant because the word terrorist is proproganda. The definition of which side are the freedom fighters and which side are the evil terrorists, at this point in time depends on which side you're on. Later the ultimate decision will be made by the winner.
I will say this. Generally speaking the people dying, be that the "terrorists" or the coalition soldiers probably have the same motivation. Their families, their beliefs, nationalism, uncertainty. And the people at the top also have similar ambitions, have the governments in the middle east reflect their idealology.
