Terrorism in my ears sounds as the ''invention'' of the new millenium...
Good point and one I agree with. Each day I see the term "terrorist" used with as much blind fear and baised attitude as the term "communist" was during the cold war. Every leader of the America has to gain control over it's population for support on other ends, and striking fear (however false or true) into the hearts of people is the shortest route next to threatening to put a bullet in their head.

I don't let "terrorism" hinder my life, the news of it, nor the term. Life continues on as it did before the phrase "You did/hate/saw/support/watched _______? You are a TERRORIST!" became the new US slogan.
