The History of Terrorism

xoxoxoBruce · 08-06-2006, 06:41 PM

In compiling a list of terrorists don't forget Torquemada, Paul Revere, Sitting Bull, Fidel Castro, Jim Jones, etc, ad nauseum.

There are so many people, with so many causes, that have been blanket with the title, it boils down to anyone "I" think is bad.

All I got is, Terrorism = Unofficial violence for political gain.

This question of Israel’s objectives is discussed elsewhere in Iraq; Bad as it has been
