Despite popular belief, recognizing a terrorist is easier than what you might think. Terrorists are not all Muslim. Terrorists are not all "shady characters". In fact, some terrorists are generally nice people. For instance, one of the terrorists who participated in the 9/11 attacks used to babysit for his neighbors' children, and the neighbors never had a problem with him. They even labeled him as a "nice, trustworthy" man.

I will let you in on a little secret in finding out who might be a terrorist and who might not be. Often times, terrorists aren't necessarily intelligent, but they seem to know a lot about topics such as government, politics, and world issues. Terrorists are usually someone who people actually know very little about: they are usually trying to cover-up or hide their past. Also, terrorists often times are very charismatic people who can get others to quickly believe in what they believe in. Above all, terrorists are people who will do underhanded actions to get what they want.

This topic of terrorism is deeply rooted in U.S. politics today: I'm going to give a little overview about our politicians. Our politicians aren't necessarily all intelligent, but many of them are quite knowledgeable in government, politics, and world issues. It also seems as though our politicians are constantly trying to hide their past. Even though we all say we don't trust politicians, many people give into their charisma and believe what they're saying. On top of all that, politicians often times commit underhanded actions to put down opposing candidates, to make themselves look better, or to obtain more money and power.

Hmm...did I just? No...of course not. But maybe...well, let's just say it's some food for thought.
