The
war on terrorism cannot be won until we identify what is the enemy.
The
modern definition of the word terrorist is vague. The term terrorism
comes from the French “terrorisme”, or Latin: terror. “There
is neither an academic nor international consensus regarding the
definition of the term terrorism” “ These difficulties arise from
the fact that the term “terrorism” is politically and emotionally
charged”
Terrorism
is not an ideal, a political philosophy, or religious value it is a
tactic of war. This tactic has been used in every war and in every
battle since the beginning of time and it is the psychology of war.
During
the Revolutionary War, frontiersman with Kentucky rifles used the
concealment of the forest to fire upon English officers.
At
a time when army's fired volley's from muskets at each other with
mere yards between them, the killing of an officer by a hidden sniper
was considered a terrorist act by a gorilla fighter, as if war was to
be fought by gentlemen.
The
psychology of that simple act changed many battles. Using terror as
a battle tactic is quiet useful when you’re faced with an enemy
that's much larger than your self.
The
people driven to acts of terrorism today don't seam to have a clear
agenda, other than to punish those they wish to condemn.
What
is it about America that they so despise?
Is
it our freedom they don't like?
To
be able to comment about our country's leaders?
To
go to a bar and have a drink ?
To
be enticed by the beauty of a woman?
To
live in a society where women have a voice?
To
freely choose a religion that you want to follow?
Is
it easier to blame our society other than to take personal
responsibility for they're own failings? A Christian seeks
forgiveness of sins, not to blame another person for his own.
The
psychology of a rifle bore that's been greased with the tallow of
swine goes a long way when fighting against a belief.
Terrorism
being an act of war and to terrorize is horrifying. What would be
more horrific than knowing your going to hell?
“The
only way to know if the war on terror is over
is when all of your rights are
restored.”
