Stop with the “Terrorism” talk. The CIA’s definition of Terrorism is:
“A terrorist is an individual or group who uses acts of violence and intimidation to achieve a desired social, political, or religious outcome. In American society, a terrorist is also defined as any group or individual that uses violence to oppose US domestic or foreign policy. What this definition of terrorism fails to recognize is the revolutionary or guerilla force that is combating an unresponsive or oppressive government. To understand terrorist motivations, one should first determine the political, social, or religious goals of the terrorist group. There is a critical difference between a revolutionary group that is trying to overthrow a dictator, and a terrorist group that is using intimidation and force to enforce its view of the world on an unwilling society. It is only through understanding what the terrorist is trying to accomplish and why, that their actions and motivations can be understood.”
