there is truth in that but remember that times have changed since Mr. Ustinov said that and the definition of terrorism has also changed.

Are you an American or a socialist? Most of the people behind terrorism are wealthy and they prey on the poor to do their dirty work because they are to coward to kill innocent people. As far as war on terrorism is by the rich...I really don't think that the brave men and women of our armed services get paid enough to be classified as 'rich'. I feel a little sad for you if you believe in everything you read.

No terrorism is not a war by the poor. Bin Laden is a wealthy man and a known terrorist.
Kim Jong Il is a terrorist in his own country and he is living better than all of his people put together. In fact he is living better than you and I and we live in a democratic society.

No. Terrorism is war by the weak and frightened. War is conflict by the powerful in an effort to make peace. Although it sounds odd, violence for peace is sometimes necessary. Just my point of view...

Hmmm, maybe, but more terrorism is more war by the cowards and zealots, and war is terrorism by the organized and well funded.

No. War is hell. WE are all guilty of causing war, - we allow it to happen - we need more understanding, compassion, and love in this world, we need peace - think only of peace, and love for mankind.

I disagree. The terroist are funded by the rich, and the rich are left scratching their heads, wondering how it came to this. I SEE THE TRUTH IN THAT.
