What I want to know is what's the definition of terrorism? That's very important. Let's define terrorism as the use or threat of force for political gain.(a US military definition) Then the biggest terrorist of the last 15 years is the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
- meapix 11y agoI'll start, terrorism is a violence of any kind.
- klez 11y agoThat's an overly broad and dangerous definition of terrorism. Following that definition, these acts can be considered terrorism: - Pub brawl - Running someone over with a car - Punching someone who is attacking you - Police hitting protestors
- pluma 11y agoThe 2003 Iraq operation was called "Shock and Awe". That struck me as pretty damn ironic at the time, considering how much the US emphasised that 9/11 was an act of terrorism.
