Politics of Terrorism

Reading about these chain of events got me thinking:

If corrupt officials can be translated as terrorists, a government that supports corruption terrorizes its people in subtle ways, so that people are afraid to protest.

In above kinds of terrorism, support to militants involves (generally speaking) a concentrated number of people and the main objective is to either attract attention or kill a target whether it results in killing of innocent civilians or not.

However, the terrorism of corruption seeps into the society through every nook and cranny to every single mind in the country.

It is a jolly good way to control a people! All you need is one case where a protestant was killed or simply given a hard time, and a whole society/generation grows up being afraid or terrorized. -- Corruption is a form of Terrorism
