Answer 5

Most terrorism is conducted by the secret services, primarily CIA/MI6/Mossad/ISI, who between them are responsible for 9/11, 7/7, Madrid train bombing, Bali bombing, Mumbai train bombing, Lockerbie air disaster, and loads more.

The way to eradicate terrororism would therefore be to dispose of the secret services.

Answer 6

technically the dictionary defines it as
1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.
2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.

Answer 7

I have seen it defined as the use of violence or threats to inspire a state of fear, for the purpose of serving a political end.

IE, just what George Bush and John Howard have been doing the last few years.
