Terrorism is a form of symmetrical warfare by non state actors against innocent, non combatant civilizations. By evoking terror, it exercises our alarmist emotions which in turn confounds our reasoning and makes clear thinking about terrorism well nigh impossible. i suggest that there are at least seven myths that have arisen that need to be debunked to properly understand the causes of terrorism. It's not war to war on terror but figuring out how to solve a problem.
