All terrorism is theater.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
This was not an act of terrorism, but it was an act of war.
The new age of terrorism isn't on the battlefield: it's in your own backyard. Whether it's at a concert in France or a restaurant in the United States, terrorism doesn't have to happen in a military installation by any stretch of the imagination.
Terrorism is a psychological warfare. Terrorists try to manipulate us and change our behavior by creating fear, uncertainty, and division in society.
Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a war against terrorism.
There are two kinds of terrorism. Rational terrorism such as Palestinian terrorism and apocalyptic terrorism like Sept. 11. You have to distinguish between the two.
Terrorism gets people's attention.
Does Hollywood do movies about terrorism? Yeah. And why do they do that? Because it sells.
The purpose of terrorism lies not just in the violent act itself. It is in producing terror. It sets out to inflame, to divide, to produce consequences which they then use to justify further terror.
The war against terrorism is terrorism.
Terrorism has become a festering wound. It is an enemy of humanity.
