One among the accepted reality in international relations is the prevailing recognition of the idea that terrorism is the weapon of the weak. This is further reinforced by the shocking turn of events on September 11, 2001 where a group of terrorist coordinated a series of bombing in the United States. However, many political analysts argued that terrorism is not solely associated as resort taken by the weak to get their messages across, rather, it also a means by which the strong impose their will on the former. While this may not be generally accepted, defining terrorism would shed light to the fact that indeed, one among the fiercest fighter of democracy has been a keen supporter of terrorism. By the definition of terrorism provided by President George Bush on his Executive Order after the 9/11, such actions do not only involve those acts that endanger human life and violate state laws, but also they encompass acts that are intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population (Golder and Williams, 2004). Additionally, the acts of terrorism are done with such intent as advancing of political, religious as well as ideological beliefs, unfortunately, it is with these intents that political violence arises, with the so called freedom fighters resorting to acts of terrorism while upholding their truths.
