It's shocking how fast "terrorism" has been redefined from "use of terror as a means of coersion" to "Islamic fundamentalists" to "evil".
These days politicians mix that word into a sentence with anything or anyone they want gone, and the public supports the cause, for fear of their own safety. The Sapir–Whorf hypothesis is strong.
But every now and then I like to think back to the original definition. By which it would seem that the United States' response to terrorism has been exponentially more terrorism.
Were it not for all of these shenanigans maybe we could have all healed from 9/11 by now.
