"My Notion of Terrorism". This essay describes my thoughts of terrorism, its reasons and aims.

"Terrorism" is practically the most frequently used word now. People are scared. Nearly every accident is claimed to be an act of terrorism. But what is terrorism? What people can be called terrorists? August 1945: the United States Air Force drops the world's first nuclear weapons. September 2002 - the attack on Twin Towers and the Pentagon. October 2003 - hostages in the musical "Nord Ost". December 2002 - February 2003 - the USA is getting ready to bomb Iraq . …

…destroy terrorism? I do not think so. A terrorist fights for some idea. He believes in it and his faith is so strong that he is ready to kill for it. Terror is his weapon. It is his way to protect and advance his idea. It is not even important what this idea is. Some ideas die but new ones appear and there always will be people ill-minded enough to support their ideas with terror.
