What's the difference between these Terrorists.. 3/18/2004 9:40:33 PM
Are all Terrorists equal? Or are some Terrorist more equal than others? What's the difference between these Terrorists? For the sake of clarity let's call them:
Terrorist A......Terrorist B.......Terrorist C......Terrorist D
Terrorist A: Everyone knows. The UN knows and there are countless Resolutions attesting to this injustice, but none has the guts to face this problem honestly in the face. It goes without saying that this Terrorist has all kinds of lethal arsenal under its disposal: apaches, missiles, bombs, and what have you to support its terror...Terrorist A is therefore able to kill, jail, maim and basically do anything it wants by making full use of it's huge arsenal. Terrorist A: is holding a prisoner and controlling from above, below and from sea, a whole nation comprising land, waters, skies, men, women, children, animals, resources...virtually all life in that territory is a prisoner in the hands of this hugely equipped Terrorist.
Terrorist B: is a Prisoner in Terrorist A's Goal. In a sane world Terrorist B would've been dubbed "Freedom Fighter" But since we're not living in normal times, we go along with what the others are saying for the sake of expediency. So what does Terrorist B do to defend it's rights? It uses stones, small arms, and the only thing it owns: Body. In a sane world this might have made normal people stop and ask themselves: Why are these people blowing themselves up? What can we do to help to stop this madness?
But we're not living in a sane world, so nobody really cares how many bodies are blown away on either side of the fence...This is so depressing...
Now let's go visit Terrorist C and see what this Terrorist is up to:
Terrorist C. is a State, actually it calls itself a "Super Power", meaning that it's equipped to the teeth. And it can make you or break you and there's nothing you are supposed to do about it...That's my definition of what a "Super power" is. Someone who doesn't give a damn about your pain...that's a Super Power....Someone else might have another definition, but we're not going into that now...Terrorist C has two very long arms:
One is used in aiding, abetting, supporting, and comforting Terrorist A. No matter what this Terrorist does, and no matter what her own people say on the issue (Terrorist C is not given to listening to the sane voices under her keep)...
The second arm is used for fighting Terror in the world (excluding Terrorist A and Terrorist C Terror) Now that's a losing battle, wouldn't you say? So Terrorist C goes about her business as though her bombs are flowers falling on welcoming hands...now what am I saying? Think I'm being confused by Terrorist C here 'Cos her case is really very confusing...It wants to fight Terror it says, yet is unable to look at itself in the face and say: Hey, I'm a Terrorist...Look at me. Look what I am doing to these small people...
Terrorist D: Now this is a curious mixture. Suffice it to say they are the worst of them all. They sit comfy thinking that the problem will melt away if they just sat around long enough...They are neither here nor there. I am a member of this gang...What a shame...
