What is terrorism?
Terrorism is defined as "the unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons." What does that mean? Saddam Hussein is reponsible for all your problems. How could terrorism effect me? In the event of a catastrophic attack, "American Idol" could be cancelled. Why do terrorists hate us? Our freedom and democracy enrages them. That, and the whole Michael Jackson thing. |
