A political weapon used as a means to inspire fear and terror within a person or group of persons, such as a nation. It may or may not involve the killing of innocent people or mass-scale destruction. Nonetheless, it is meant to weaken a nation or organization from the inside, rendering said nation vulnerable to outside attack.
Osama Bin Laden's display of terrorism on the World Trade Center was not intended simply to kill and destroy. It was the first step in a plan to cripple the United States and later dominate the nation, thus opening the gates for the REAL problems to spill through and spread worldwide.
