(this is for those who haven't thought over it yet)

you hear it everywhere. the word terrorism is used by politicians from russia to usa. it's an evil we have to fight, because it's attacking us from all angles outside our borders (...chechnia's from the inside).

but let's stop for a minute. terrorism isn't something new. it has been around for decades. that means that this isn't really the century of terrorism, even though it's common to look at it that way.

look it up. check your history books. in latin america, in europe, and elsewhere.. the way west germany had to deal with terror actions from east germany. in spain they have had to deal with ETA since the 70s or so.

actually the statistics read that terrorism has declined in the last decades. there were a much higher number of acts of terror before the 90s than after the 90s and today. it is just that certain politicians have, through the media, made the public believe that there is much more terror now than never before.

so while it seems that we are flooded by acts of terror, in reality the terror worldwide has been on a decline.. just compare today's number of acts of terror with earlier times. but here we are being lead to believe that it has exploded in the past years. and so it won't sound any strange when they decide to go to war on it in order to (as they sa stop it.

dumbening, isnt it
