Subject: RE: BS: The right to attack - what gall!
Everybody in that Middle East dispute funds terrorist organizations, Teribus. It's just that you don't recognize it AS terrorism when the Israelis, the British, or the Americans are the ones doing the funding...and the terrorism.

Terrorism is this: a deliberate attempt to terrorize other people into doing what you want them to do by employing violence against them...and the threat of violence. Such violence and intimidation may be carried out by individuals, paramilitary groups, suicide bombers, assassins, spies, secret police or professional armies. It's all terrorism. And that is completely obvious to those who are on the receiving end of the violence.

But you'll never get that, will you? You think one side in this thing is "good" and the other is "bad". Ha! It's not nearly that simple. They are all using terrorism. Those with the greater firepower have far more effective methods of spreading terror.

You want to know real terror? Go back a couple of thousand years, and try not cooperating with the Roman Empire. Now those guys knew how to spread terror! Yessiree. And they were the superpower of their time, like America is now. Superpowers have abilities to spread havoc and terror that make other people look like rank amateurs, but they never admit that that's what it is. Oh no...they're too 'good' for that, right? It's only little ragged countries and little ragged people who can be deemed to commit "terrorism".

Bullshit. Orwellian Newspeak. Doubletalk. Lies.
