Terrorism Defined
Look it up in the dictionary and this is one of the definitions of terrorism: Systematic use of terror and intimidation esp. in order to coerce.

Does this sound at all familiar? I believe the Bush Admin's vague terror warnings and the upgrade to orange and other colors fits this definition of terrorism. They keep pushing fear on us in order to secure Bush's re-election. In so doing, they have become terrorists.

Bush is a terrorist
Cheney is a terrorist
Ashcroft is a terrorist
Rumsfeld is a terrorist
Rice is a terrorist
Ridge is a terrorist

Basically, anyone who helps propigate a high level of fear throughout the country so as to coerce the American people into voting for a man who has ruined our economy, damaged our environment, weakened our position in the world, gutted our education, ignored the rising costs of medicare, and started a war based on lies that have costs us nearly 1000 lives and thousands more limbs, is a terrorist.
