How do you define terrorism?

[bunkerking09]

I'm reading a book in my college English class called "Rereading America" (horrible liberal book, don't waste your time). So we are talking about patriotism, terrorism, etc. The following case was brought up.

The United States was attacked on September 11th. These were acts of terrorism, pending you aren't some conspiracy theorist, so please work with me here.

This authors (Mark Hertsgaard) definition of terrorism is "Targeting innocent civilians to advance a political or military agenda."

SO, was the US attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki(sp?) with the atomic bombs acts of terrorism? By his definition, yes. By mine, no. They didn't do it out of an act of hatred, BUT we did put the Japs in concentration camps during WWII. I'm not sure how to plead my case ny giving an alternate definition of terrorism. :crap:

help? thoughts?

Terrorism is what people do to the US. Getting what you deserved is what the US does to others.

that is pretty much what the teacher was saying, but in a sarcastic way, saying that America could do no wrong.

Thats why i signed up to defend it sir. They (the rest of the class being super liberals) were saying that we should give up these powers and use our resources to help other people who are REALLY in need, because Africa REALLY needs us and the middle east doesn't. They don't understand that if we hadn't interfered with any of this, we would be under Israel's control right now because they would have destroyed everyone.

terrorism is an act against some based only of the intent to do harm to ppl b/c of a moral or ethnic reason. the bombs on Japan were done during war time. movements by groups like Al-Queda and New Black Panthers inflict harm and death on those b/c they disagree with what they think is right. bombs like the ones dropped on Japan is like going for a hail mary on the 50 yard line with 2 seconds left and it's the end of the 4 th quarter. terrorism is like biting and eye gouging your opponent just b/c they are on another team.

^^^not mine, but i like it^^^

Is terrorism not defined by the word itself. Committing an act to strike terror in the heart of the victim.
Like what Batman does?
