I found Anonymous 18115096s description of the root of terrorism somewhat less than enlightened. I was wondering if Anonymous 18115096 really considers that the majority of the acts of organized terrorism are only those violent acts bankrolled by foreign governments? If this is truly the case I then wonder how the Anonymous would feel if (he or she or them) lived somewhere else in the world such as one of the countries where the U.S. or its allies had funded and supplied individuals that in turn commit acts of violence within that country? I think the real issue is the biased way many individuals choose determine what terrorism is. In my opinion it seems that an enlightened individual would have to realize that terrorism is any act that attempts to control or manipulate others under treat of dire consequences (i.e. causing terror) or any act executed with intent, which results in dire consequences. Now based on Anonymous 18115096s statement this would also include any government that funds anyone who commit these acts. This is a very large group of governments that includes the U.S. and most of its allies. I would like to suggest that it is unlikely that terrorism will ever cease to exist however the closed minded thinking of Anonymous 18115096 will definitely not provide an answer. One last thought since Anonymous 18115096 wants to debilitate the governments paying for these act I would like to suggest that unless Anonymous 18115096 wants to debilitate (his or her or their) government, (he or she or they) come up with a better solution.
