How does the war on terrorism fit the definition of history?

Answer 1

Well, History is a written account of the deeds of people and nations (especially, their political deeds) and Terrorism is the belief that threatening innocent civilians with random acts of violence is an effective and acceptable way to bring about social and political change.

So, it seems to me as if the fit is not all that good (i.e., Terrorism is not the same thing as History.) But wait! You asked about the War ON Terrorism which is another thing altogether. It's hard to get a straight answer about what the war ON terrorism actually is or who even is in charge of it, but if you look at where all of the money has been spent, most has been spent on the building of permanent U.S. military bases in locations that will have immense strategic importance in the event of a future war for oil, and the rest has been spent producing war Propaganda to entertain the American people and acclimate them to the idea of killing brown people in order to preserve the sacred "American way of life."

So, it seems to me as if the fit still is not all that good. The War ON Terrorism is not the same thing as History.

Hey! Here's an idea. What if somebody looked AT history (i.e., read some). I wonder if there's anything written down in history that could inform your opinion as to whether either Terrorism or the War ON Terrorism was a good thing?
