I think there is something really wrong with this world I can't believe we are so behind....
People should wake up a bit, it appears that throughout history the powerful nations, notably the western world and US in particular, have been the chief players in administering terrorism.
We have to assume some points and define some terms (which are open to revision) that terrorism is some use of force or violence as a means to intimidate, coerce or persuade societies or a government. Assuming this definition it would then follow that smaller weaker nations are unable to really impose with great effect any acts of terrorism right??
Therefore there has to be the starter, the one who uses force and this is the aggressor isn't it?
Following this would you consider the forceful actions of the victim as terrorism or retaliation, because it seems that what they are doing is protecting or preserving their rights and ideals isn't it??
However, it seems that throughout history the aggressor has convinced us and their people that the victims/the freedom fighters/the people who resist with force are the terrorists, for example the Mau Mau or Nelson Mandela or dare I say Ossama.
Who are the terrorists?
Should we consider the people who resist with force the real terrorists???
