The definition of terrorism is "Using fear to advance a political agenda" so you could say that fox news is guilty of terrorism. When you say terrorism who are you talking aboot?

I see we've already started on the partisan issues.

Anyway, Al Qaeda has failed in its mission I would say.
Osama had these grand plans for setting up an Islamic Caliphate with him at its head; now he's just hiding in a cave. I would say things did not turn the way he wanted. Plus he has alienated many Muslims with his terrorist actions that he thought would embrace his organization and views.

My definition is "Using violence and intimidation to advance a politcal agenda"...

Anything that uses fear to get a point across is terrorism. A lot of people confuse terrorism with muslim bombings no a days.

Its just a way for people to spread their ideas by using fear or force. And as Dracula would say it, "Perhaps the same can be said of all religions."

Hopefully terrorists fear us more than we do them. Otherwise I don't think we're doing our jobs correctly.

Every country has been supporting terrorism/producing terrorist's since god knows when, its effective and its cheap, good way to get across a message (even if the message is I DON'T LIKE YOU!)

Terrorism is bad. There's not much more to say. The simple fact is that an act of terrorism is indiscriminate.

Then continued for the next few decades, but Northern Ireland remains part of the Union. It can have varying results.

OT: I can't really justify it as a method. In war I can sometimes understand civilians being targeted (but only when waging something akin to 'total war' a la WWII to destroy the enemy's ability to wage war) but only for strategic reasons, not for the sole reason of causing fear to effect changes in government or compliance with demands.
