While the West claim that extremist from developing countries are terrorising them because they are jealous of their advancements, the developing countries claim that developed nations are terrorising them to keep them subservient.Muslims and Christians point fingers at each other. Ruling and opposition parties across the globe shout terror at each others faces. Communist China and Buddhist Tibet, Russia and Chechnya, Sudan and Darfur, Ethiopia and Somalia. The list is endless. So who is a terrorist? Is a terrorist someone you trap in to help you solve the mystery of Iraq quagmire, provide the formular to exit your economic woes, sample political tight corner wriggling out for you? or is a terrorist a real threat, an enemy, a danger to be avoided? If the former is a terrorist, the noise blinded people eyes for sometime but now they know better. If the later is a terrorist, then those combating him ought to listen to the voice of Augustine of Hippo saying ''Do not go outside, return to yourself for in the human interior lives the truth''.

Thank you Sylvester,
I hope I am somewhat of a facilitator for slightly more thought and slightly less halering at Capitol Hill Blue, but even if I am not, I am glad it is happening.
Again I would like to remind people of the Dalai Lama's comments see,

Submitted by pollchecker on July 25, 2008 - 9:18am.According to Webster's Revised Unabrideged Dictionary a terrorist is:

2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government. --- www.dictionary.com
Who the REAL terrorists are is just a matter of perception fueled by propaganda and disinformation.
Excellent commentary but I
Submitted by Sandra Price on July 26, 2008 - 9:19am.Excellent commentary but I must point out that Americans lined up behind our own home-made terrorists in the White House, Pentagon and CIA. Without an ounce of information on the actions done by these powerful and unConstitutional groups, the Americans simply demonstrated their "faith" in the government. This faith is killing us and making it possible for more illegal actions to be passed over by the Congress and the media.
It is time all Americans recognize wrong from right and keep our own charts on the actions of our government starting with our own House and Senate members. We know the White House, Pentagon and CIA are corrupt; they haven't even tried to cover their lies and manipulations but we must stop voting in those corrupt politicians.
I tend to follow the opinions of a Constitutional Scholar from George Washington University named Jonathan Turley. I remember him from handling the trial of several witnesses during the Rosewell UFO investigation. He listened to these people because they were Americans and he represented them in the court of law. He has appeared on Countdown as Olbermann also recognizes an honest man when he sees one. In his quiet way, Mr. Turley admits that according to the Constitution, many comments from the Pentagon, Congress and CIA are as full of mistruths as the White House.
