That is a tough question.

I could give you the textbook definition that basically says that terrorists are those who use violence, etc.. to terrorize whomever it is that they oppose. I good example of a true terrorist would be a bully at a school. The bully uses fear of ones weaker than he is in order to get whatever he wants.

Now pay close attention because this is where my definition of terrorism differs from most. I'll explain.

I actually see the USA as the terrorist and Al queda and the insurgents in Iraq as the victims of us that have decided to finally fight back in the only way they can. Like the bully example, the weaker kid can't take the bully head to head because he is stronger so in order to fight back he must become 'sneaky' etc...otherwise he must give up and let the bully continue to control his life.

Now before you get excited and say I am not a patriot or hate my country etc.. let me clarify that real quick: just because I see this truth does not mean I hate my country. It does not mean I agree with those trying to hurt us. It means that I see what is going on and want to fix/change it.

Many politicians and historians told Bush when he first started all this that he should instead be looking at what we did to make them hate us so much rather than use cowboy diplomacy to bully the world. He did not listen and now we are the brink of ww3.

If you listen to Bush, he says that the terrorist hate freedom. That is just something he made up to motivate the masses. Al Queda led by B.Laden spawned out of Afghanistan after a long war there against Russia. You see, we funded B.Laden in that war because we didn't want Russia to win. Then later we basically dropped B.Laden like a hot potato causing them a lot of despair after we were done using them.. there is a lot more but that is where their hatred for us came from.

Then you have the insurgents in Iraq. They are simply ppl trying to defend their country and their way of life from an occupation. Sure we may not agree with their way of life but wouldn't we do the same if the shoe was on the other foot?

Lastly you have Hezbollah and the Palestinians... this one goes deeper and farther back. This argument has no one side that is right and no one side that is wrong. This battle is all about who has the right to Jerusalem.

Now, if you examine each scenario I gave you, you see that what we are calling terrorist are those that do not have the military that others have so in order to fight, they must resort to other means. Means much like our militia here used to defeat the British during the American Revolution. We could not take the British head to head on the battle field so we did what we had to do.

This is my opinion on terrorism. You may not agree but I do hope I helped you understand both sides.

Can you say the reason behind the attack on World Trade Centre and Pentagon?

Do you aware of that Bush administration clearly knows with stable intelligent records that IRAQ has/had no WMDs? Then why the war and the false propaganda to cheat its own people and the world?

In Iraq, obviously, westerners are nothing but foreigners and the occupiers of Iraq. People dont like them and they cannot gain popular supports their. People resisting. But the Bush/Blair administration says the people who resisting foreigners are terrorists/insurgents because they find no other ways to cheat again their own people and the world.

Who are terrorists? The one who kills innocents and destabilize the country/region are terrorist. You just imagine how innocents killed in Afganishtan? How many innocents killed in Iraq? and Vietnam? and Somalia? How many regions destabilized to eshtabilish the western cause? Are not the Terrorists?

Take US's staunchest ally Israel, how many thousand peoples killed by Israel for several decades? Who is supporting and funding them for all their crimes?

To wrap up western crimes against humanity, they are portraying whoever trying to underline/undermine them and their policies as terrorists.

There are accomplished politicians who knows well how to trick their own people to convince/legalize their crimes in the name of "Brining democracy to the world", "War against Terrors", "Axis of Evil nations". And the latest one is "A New (American) Middle East" by comedian/musician Codoleezza Rice.

Westerners always thinking, planning and working towards maintaining the unity between themselves. But never can accept the unity among others like Asian, Africa, Russian or Middle East.

If you want to keep Middle East free with WMDs then think Israel.
Several hundred nuclear bombs are there. No IAEA allowed ever and not the signatory of NPT.

Think the Israels evil destruction in Lebanon, is there any doubts that Iran and Syria must acquire Nuclear Weapons for the security and soverignity of their nations?

With Nuclear technology, Americans and Europeans like to monopolize the civil nuclear (which is major source for highly growing energy needs) and want control like how the OPEC control the Crude Oil. When Iran is gaining the technology, they westerners cannot tolerate and so the false propaganda to crush them. Nuclear bomb is not the major concern for them because they can even buy a few bombs from the block market. But the important is that Iran should not be the master in Nuclear technology and even they dont like to have the knowledge of it.

There are unlimited reasons lying behind the history and the politics. But the western ugly attitude is "not let others to grow anyone other than us" the source of all attacks. But they seems bigger terrorist because they know how to convert and propagates the falst as gospel truths.

Actually the terrors are not terrors but the evil source of policies which terrorizing others are the Real Terrorist. If they stopped then everywhere the peace will prevails.

You can't say "this nationality or that nationnality" are terrorists. That's a generalization and a very incorrect one. The definition should be any person/s who try to control others using fear and intimidation. That's one of the huge hardships of the "war on terror" is trying to determine who is the enemy

I can't see the difference between terrorist who who kill innocents or an army of people (like Israels) who also kill innocents. USA and Israel are even more hypocritical because they would like to show to the world they care for innocents, but actually they don't Only the stupid ones think they do care.

Terrorists are the monsters who are targeting innocent civilians in other countries to force them to adopt political change. In other words, people like al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, and HAMAS. Israel and the US would not qualify because even though their military oprerations have resulted in civilian deaths, civilian groups were not targeted specifically.

Terrorists simply are people, organizations, or governments that use violence to acheive a desired political and/or economic end. For example, a terrorist organization: Al Qaeda,Hizbollah, or Hamas, a terrorist country: Israel.
