More About Terrorism
Terrorism is something that has been around for ever. If you really think about it, it has been around since the fist man stepped foot on the earth. Although the types of terrorism that was preformed at those times was nothing like it is in thins day and age it was and still is here today. "Terrorism has been described variously as both a tactic and strategy; a crime and a holy duty; a justified reaction to oppression and an inexcusable abomination." This line is from the website http://www.terrorism-research.com/. Terrorism is a criminal act that hurts and influences more than the targeted person. This means that for example is A terrorist group is trying to assassinate a weapon dealer named Bobby Joe. If the terrorism group wants to drop a bomb on Bobby's town they will most certainly kill more than just bobby Joe. These people that they are killing inocent people. But, as I have stated before, there is no cure for this type of act, and sadly more people will be killed.

The why?
We all remember the plotted plane bombing on Christmas day. We all remember how we would of felt if it would have been accomplished. But i think the question that kills us all in the inside is that why? Why would someone to do something so cruel. Why would someone be so mean to all of these people. Who gives them the mindset that doing something like this is maybe good? These questions of why can never been answered, unless somehow we can get into these peoples minds and see what they are thinking, but sadly we will never no for sure.
