Answer 2

Possibly due to how & or when an act of terrorism might take place !?!  For instance when they saw how TRULY WEAK this countries s0o.`called defense/system  was,is or can be !!.. They simply took a next step !! Which was to mingle/ gaining trust & ...?rights!?! a.k.a. "FAVORS!?!  to do as they please .. The trust part came from the FREEDOMS in this country to do basically what we'd like !!?!! aslong as we do'nt invade others space or try to keep them from doing s0Me things etc,etc... (btw) I'll bet it would have loop holes anyway for instance some planes that have a pointy sword like thing on the nose of mainly jets!?! a rule might be: shorten it or it should contain a sertain amount of rubber,fiber glass,plastic.,. something like that.. then it'll be ??LEGAL!?! ha ha.. who knows what we'll have to be careful or fearful of next!?!. some of those laws might have to be made & passed as we go along  ! ? !  ;-`{    r`'R'`r

Answer 3

Because what some may define terrorism as an act of selfish and cruel violence, others may called it freedom fighting for their cause. It depends on what part of the world you in and your views on democracy.

Either way... there has to be a better way to resolve issues in the world.

Answer 4

Kenetik is right.

Because terrorism is not one thing, like a car is one thing or Yahoo answers is one thing.

It is only terrorism if you approach it from a certain viewpoint - and the world and all the nations are so diverse and disagree so much that it leads to no singular definition.

Answer 5

there is and it's general. The calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear.
