Terrorism

Terrorism is simply a play put on for the purpose of attracting an audience with the objective of changing government, or forcing a government policy or philosophy to change. The best place to recruit terrorists and specialists for terrorist activity is in the prisons. Another pertinent remark was that the terrorists strive to create the image of the mass; that is, the terrorist attempt to create in the mind of the government that they are stronger and more powerful than they really are. By using the media and through their violence they begin to obtain the support of the masses which previously was only a mirage. The terrorists also attempt to get the government to react and then to overreact. When the government does overreact then more and more the populace will turn against what they see as a repressive government and side with the terrorists.
