Now for subject matter:
What is terrorism? Terrorism is a buzzword connected to groups that perform actions against another nation that are viewed by that nations and other nations as evil. While these acts of terrorism attributes to this isnt this a similar thing that the US, Britain, France, and other first world countries do to small or poor third world countries to change their political stance? The mentions first world countries could very much be viewed as terrorist nations by third world countries being invaded.
In other nations these terrorists as we call them might not be viewed as evil by their citizens and government (corrupt or not) because they view our terrorists as freedom fighters in a fashion similar to how we view our soldiers. They are trying to announce and force in their own views by force and extreme measures like 9/11.
This basically goes into the bases of the struggle of good versus evil but here is the paradox of sorts. If one side thinks their actions are just and the other also believes their acts are just while both sides also have support of civilians around the nations they are apart of and around the world how can either side truly be evil if both their actions have some form of justification?
Going into the battle raging right now between Israel and Hamas right now shows this exact issue. Which side is the just good side and which is the dark evil side when both sides have when out of their ways to inflict the most damage on each other without care while justifying their actions.
My conclusion is that we need to avoid the buzzword "Terrorism" and naming "Terrorists" due to the fact that its more slander for people acting on belief. There are groups that would fall into the evil category but they arent terrorists, they are called a collective of murderers. If something attacks one of our nations dont consider it that your going out to fight the terrorists, no we are fighting the guys that attacked us. No added buzzwords needed. There is no true good or evil to this world, just what one side thinks is just and what the other thinks is just.
Last time I checked back in the middle ages when there was wars between kingdoms they just considered battles well battles for land or control of the opposing side's empire. There was no nicknaming of the empire that started the attack. We never heard the Romans writing in their texts "Today there was an act of terrorism in our northern cities by the the terrorist group the Greeks." They simply stated they were attacked, then stated that they should get payback.
Now lets discuss this as civilized people, please.
