Terrorism

Terrorism can be defined as "The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons. " (www.yourdictionary.com)

As a corollary, wouldn't George W. Bush be considered a terrorist? After, all he routinely made false claims regarding biological, chemical weapons and weapons of mass destruction in order to change people's opinions regarding the unlawful invasion of Afghanistan, then Iraq. This created mass fear and even hysteria on a global level in the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy. The people of America, and other nations were certainly intimidated by the threats made by the Bush Administration regarding participation in the "Coalition of the Willing" (Bush's ragtag group of countries that were supposedly "willing" to invade Iraq, including Albania and Tonga). France, who openly opposed this coalition, was in turn bashed by Bush and members of his administration, simply for denouncing the unsanctioned war-something that went against international statutes set out by the United Nations. I find it unfathomable that George can sleep at night, knowing how many people his government has killed, how many false statements he has made, how many lives he has ruined, how much terror he has put into the hearts of Americans, Iraqis and Afghanis alike.

Bush may not be the biggest terrorist we have ever seen, in fact he's not even close. But to be the leader of the most powerful country in the world, purport human rights and justice for all, and act the way he does is incredible.
Come November, I hope against all hopes that John Kerry is victorious. I don't think the world could take another 5 years of George W. Bush.
