Terrorism - Towards an Understanding     I am in complete disagreement with Corrado and Cohen's theory of political terrorism.  I believe that political terrorism is committed by dominant, aggressive males in positions of power, acting with other  dominant, aggressive males for more power, money, or status, and without regard to the spiritual nature of human kind.  I believe that dividing political terrorism into state or anti state terrorism, does not get to the root cause of terrorism.  To uncover the true cause of  terrorism, I believe involves identifying  motive and personalities of those "terrorizing".  In most cases it is dominant, aggressive males who hold positions of  power in either the political, economic, or military arenas, and  who manipulate events to suite themselves, e.g.,  Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and in more recent times, Slobodon Milosovic.

A fair assembly of politicians, who represent all layers and fabrics of the society.  The event is still under review.   The actions of the Irish Republican Army has eventually destroyed the positions of power that the dominant, aggressive males abused.  But I do not believe that  we should label those who fought for a better life as terrorists.   People who put their lives on the line for true justice, I believe  should be referred to as a Revolutionaries.
     We are exposed to new conflicts now, almost on a daily basis, and no two situations are ever identical.  This makes the breakdown of a typol...
