All forms of "Terrorism" exist because, within the Human population, there is a certain percentage of truly evil, truly greedy, truly power hungry, truly heartless, truly selfish, truly self-serving and truly insane people within that total population. Then again, what we define as a modern day "Terrorist" could, in fact be what we believed to be a "Patriot" of our past. Case in point: "The Revolutionary War."

The King of Great Britain called those Terrorists "Rebels of the Crown." With that in mind, are those Arab Terrorists really patriots to their people? Your guess is as good as mine, but some of those Arab Terrorists gave their life, or are willing to die for a cause that they believe in. So too, Many of those Colonists died, lost their property and/or suffered greatly for a cause that they themselves were more than willing to die for.

What we are really talking about here is the right for a group of people to exist within their own Country, without the interference of Foreigners from Foreign Countries. As a group, every society of people has, or should have, the God given right to control their own destiny within the society and/or World in which we all live.

In so doing, they have killed or injured tens of thousands of our own people, in a place where the influence of the Countries of the Modern World have no real right to occupy and, at the same time, still believe in Democracy and the rights of other people to control their own destiny. Prove me wrong.

What would you do if the Chinese Army invaded the United States of America and killed all of our elected politicians and imposed their own form of Government? I'd give them a medal for the first part of that statement and then I myself would become an American Terrorist and kill each and every invader that I could, before they killed me. Yes and there would also be tens of thousands of truly "Patriotic Americans" just like me who would join the cause for "Freedom, Justice and the American way of Life."

I wonder if that's the same kind of reasoning that those so called Arab Terrorists are thinking right now, or whenever they decided to fight the people of the Western World.

You see, you can't simply kill people for no good reason if you aren't yourself one of those insane power hungry people, as described in the first paragraph of this story.

As a matter of fact, real peace and harmony can only be achieved by the real communication between the opposing groups within those Countries. That is, if you aren't an evil, power hungry, greedy, heartless, selfish, self-serving and insane person who will simply kill all who oppose your rule. Who will you vote for in 2008?
