: the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal. That's the definition of terrorism. So I think only by definition a government can use terrorism. Not people being governed. Or random people flying planes into towers. Also defeat terror. You can't it's a state of mind so a war on terror is absurd . You could be in terror of almost anything. Now if a war on a country a person ect that can be defeated . But notice saddam and Osama are not in the picture anymore so way we still harassing these people? Because of terror you say lmao . Well I'm in terror of the atrocities that are being committed daily by the so called people fighting terror. Yes I'm American . And yes I support my fellow Americans. But the terrorist that govern and terrorize the people of my countries and others need to be put on trial for war crimes . Back to topic . On 9 11 I was driving down the road when a friend called and told me . I arrived at his house to see the news people saying the we're gonna pull the plug on tower 7 that supposedly collapsed from debris. Who's stupid enough to believe this crap. Wake up people I gave you the definition of terrorism. The same word used by government saying we need to fight it. Are they suggesting that only they coulda committed this act. I will leave it to you to decide . I can't convince antone of anything they have to choose what they believe or dont. But please don't be so lazy when deciding what to believe. Do your research and then decide or have no opinion. We have enough ignorance in the world. And yes lives were lost and it was a tragedy my heart goes out to the faimlies. And to the guy saying people die in car accidents. All those trying to bash him. Well tires were invented that never go flat , brakes that work of magnets and hydrolics have also been invented and we have radar and sonar that could keep cars from crashing. So yes people dying from car wrecks is just as blatant disregard for life as a guy flying a plane into a tower.people just choose to act like one life is more valuable than another based on circumstances of death. All life has value and don't you forget it or maybe you'll be like the paper terrorist that run our government. Peace I welcome all trolls and look foward to laughing at your stupidity. I also welcome all intelectual people to comment I prob won't check post again so happy day
