Terror can knock your door one day as long as you ...

Everything has begun with the scenes of two planes' crushing into WTC buildings in NY on September the 11th. We have seen such horrors in Hollywood films, but this time it was real. This time there was not a good man called Bruce Willis who saves the lives of several innocent people who left themselves into the space from 75th, 76th floors in order not to burn. All of them had waited Bruce Willis, but he did not come. It was the victory(!) of bad men this time and the victory(!) of terrorism.
Maybe it was the common sin of humanity, common sin of calling one another's terrorist as "heroes". We have understood that terrorism has no limits and can do whatever terrorists want because it has no ethic, no rules. Just killing more and more innocent people and then claiming the responsibility. Has world agreed on the definition of terrorism? Has world countries given up supporting terrorist organizations which destabilize one another country?
Once upon a time Afghan people were heroes for USA because they were fighting against USSR and Afghan war brought the end of USSR. Afghanistan was good for USA in those days. Even we have seen Rambo and the hero Afghan people fighting against Russians on TVs and across cinemas in 1980s. But today what happened?
All Afghan people are just terrorists and the bumerang which has been supported by USA turned back to herself. Terrorism is a bumerang and it comes back to you. NOTHING JUSTIFIES TERRORISM. The father of terrorism was Hasan Sabbah and he had had lots of young boys and used to bring them up as suicide commandos by giving them drug. He could make them kill many people. The name of these suicide terrorists were "hashashins" and the verb "assassinate" in English comes from there. I mean the terrorism was in the past, is at present, and will be forever. But the problem is how we react against the global terrorism, will go on calling other's terrorists as "heroes" or agree on a definition of terrorism? Or we go on saying "I condemn terrorism, but...."
If the mentality does not change, one day those planes can chrush into your house as long as you do not fight against terrorism, as long as you call other's terrorists as "heroes", "freedom fighters" or "seperatists". Terrorism is terrorism and nothing justifies it, nothing justifies the killings of innocent people. Terrorism has no religion, has no race, has no nationality, also does not make a distinction of race, religion, statue, etc. The goal is killing more people and creating fear among people, terrorize the world.
Lastly I hope world people can agree on the definition of terrorism and can fight against all kinds of terrorism whatever it fights against or whoever it serves for or whatever ideology it is done for....
God Bless not only the souls of 6000 innocent people killed in WTC towers, but also the souls of victims of all kinds of terrorism.
