How can you say osama is a terrorist?

Answer 1

Osama bin Laden can only be classified as a terrorist. The very fact that he has planned and executed many 'successful' attacks against Western society denotes the fact that it is his aim to cause some kind of fear in the minds of Western People, as well as to acheive a sense of dominance over the developed world.

Terrorism is a term defined by the victim. The attacker will never consider themself a terrorist - perhaps quite the opposite, they may see themself as some kind of samaritan. Only the victim will be at liberty to label someone a terrorist - and in Osama bin Laden's case, rightly so.
