Again, Terrorism is a tactic whereby terrorist carry out acts of violence, or treats of violence, to create a platform on which to protest. The acts of terrorism provide the terrorist with a voice to express grievances. Terrorism is applied to encourage change; not to defeat a country into submission and surrender. Terrorism in not war; although, the terrorist may use guerrilla warfare tactics. The difference is intent or purpose. Terrorist use terrorism as a platform to encourage change, while wars are fought on a much larger scale to defeat a country into surrender.
The Bush Administration has done a good job of blocking the voice of the terrorist by stereotyping all terrorist as innately evil, and never a mention as to the terrorist's motives or grievances. Terrorist make up a small portion of the total population and fall in the right or left outer edges of the bell curve. If the views of the terrorist spread within the population becoming the norm, the population is more like to build militarily, and use the country's army to wage war. Then we have a real war with a defined country and army. The Bush Administration's tactics of waging preemptive war is pushing terrorist views towards becoming the norm in many regions of the world. This makes the U.S., and the World, much less safe. Regards, LelandJ Regards, LelandJ Leland F.
