Terrorism – usually referred to as an unlawful use of force by some group of people.
Well, What is unlawful.. is there a definition which is valid in all countries. I guess not, as all countries have their own law. Is there a universal law? ( not the universal laws of physics ;) ) Begging in Australia is unlawful and not in India. Australia has a brothel – “Daily planet” listed in Stock exchange, having profits of 2 million $ in 2006, given best brothel award in 2004, 2005,2006 … such a thing imagine in India !!! So what is unlawful is itself a gray area!! Thus who defines the type “use of force” as unlawful?
Webster says – “Terrorism“ - The calculated use of violence (or threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear.
A country XYZ continuously monitors the state of all other countries in world. Says that only Democracy is the best way to govern, and forces it on other countries.. isnt it a way of instilling fear among civilians .. thus terrorism !
Same country dropped a little toy, millions of civilians had died because of that and millions are still suffering. Wasn’t that an act of terrorism. OR was it that terrorism was not defined that way then! OR is it that act of terrorism can only be done by third world countries.
This country XYZ, has been the only country on this earth which has ever used a nuclear weapon in a war, and also has a sum total of more than 80% of nuclear weapons on earth. Still it advices others to stay away from this nuclear weapon race!!
Some one has rightly said, “U can fight against terrorism, but u can’t find against XYZ”
So as a prejudice or as fear, whatever XYZ does is not terrorism !!!
