Terrorism or not, that is the question... or is it?

Terrorism... A word widely used to define an act of violence against unsuspecting innocent civilians. The French Revolution was the first to be labelled as terrorist by the Jacobins. With time however, the usage of terrorism may have been misused.
Today, 133 organizations around the world have been classified as terrorist or linked with terrorism. Among these are worldwide known groups like Taliban, FARC & Tamil Tigers. Wait a minute... Aren’t the FARC & Tamil Tiger groups at war with their oppressive & murderous governments? Shouldn’t the governments themselves be called terrorists?
I for one, do not agree with it and am of the opinion that if the 133 groups are branded as terrorist, then the Red, White & Blue (RWB), should in itself, be number one on that list and classified as a terrorist nation involved in terrorism acts...
The usage of the word terrorism has made it very easy for RWB to put its plans into action. The world accepts when Afghanistan & Iraq are invaded and destroyed to nothing more than wastelands riddled with bodies, shells and fragments of lethal explosives. We are fuelled by revelations from the media on how these actions are not murders and atrocities, but acceptable retaliations in the name of “war on terror”. We agree that the 104,000 civilian deaths in Iraq are acceptable as collateral damage or casualties of war, and see it as a victory for RWB.
Voicing my opinions is what I will be doing and what better way than to start off with the ones who initiated it all... Al-Qaeda/Taliban
