Terrorism has always been with us. It is older than antiquity and is a physical manifestation
of hate. It was not born on 9/11. It is not the child of Islam. Indeed terrorism is not synonymous with any
faith, but it is the kindred spirit of fear and loathing and the cynicism that
would use them for gain. As long as we
continue to offer violence as the best way to the highest good; as long as we
continue to practice war and refuse to see it for what it is, organized terrorism
with flags, it will flourish. It feeds
on the blood of the fallen and survives with the grief of the vanquished. Terrorism is a self fulfilling prophecy.
