Terrorism is based on;
(1) the terrorist thinking he possesses the one and only truth,
(2) the terrorist having a strong sense of "us versus them", where
"us" is all good and "them" is all bad, and
(3) the terrorist's desire to use force and violence to get what one wants.

I like this definition: it describes perfectly the position adopted by
the US in foreign affairs at least since WWII.
