The difference between the revolutionary and the terrorist lies in the reason for which each fights. For whoever stands by a just cause and fights for the freedom and liberation of his land from the invaders, the settlers and the colonialists cannot possibly be called terrorist, otherwise the American people in their struggle for liberation from the British colonialists would have been terrorists; the European resistance against the Nazis would be terrorism, the struggle of the Asian, African and Latin American peoples would also be terrorism, and many of you who are in this Assembly hall were considered terrorists.
Yasser Arafat
There is no moral difference between a Stealth bomber and a suicide bomber. They both kill innocent people for political reasons.
Tony Benn
How do you defeat terrorism? Dont be terrorized.
Salman Rushdie
The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is a matter of perspective: it all depends on the observer and the verdict of history.
Pentti Linkola
‎The greatest danger of a terrorist's bomb is in the explosion of stupidity that it provokes.
Octave Mirbeau
Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him, Feinstein, and King, the better off we all are. If they had taught a class on how to be the kind of citizen Dick Cheney worries about, I would have finished high school.
Edward Snowden
I don't think you can win it. But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world.
George Walker Bush
My conviction comes down to this: we do not create terrorism by fighting the terrorists. We invite terrorism by ignoring them.
George Walker Bush
In the long term, weve got to defeat an ideology of hate with an ideology of hope. Theres a reason why people like (al-Qaida leader Osama) bin Laden are able to recruit suiciders, because if you dont have hope, youre attracted to an ideology which says, its OK to kill people and kill yourself.
George Walker Bush
You are either with us or you are against us in the fight against terror.
George Walker Bush
Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.
George Walker Bush
