Who Is A Terrorist?Written by Arthur Zulu
There are angels and angels. Like cherubs. Like seraphs. And Satan devil, himself. There are prophets and prophets. Like Jesus Christ. Like Muhammad. Like Siddhartha Guatama. And there are terrorists and terrorists. Like. . . . Don't think that I am going to mention Osama Bin Laden. Or some madman wielding a bomb, a gun , or a knife. No! Because there have come to be many terrorists after September 11, 2001.The Shorter Oxford Dictionary on Historical Principles defines word terrorist as " anyone who attempts to further his views by a system of coercive intimidation". But today that definition is relative. Because we are all terrorists! Forget Palestinian suicide bombers. Ignore Muslim fundamentalists. Do not think of those ones doing havoc in Indonesia, Russia or East Africa. And remember not several "terrorist" groups mushrooming around world. Yes, forget them. Now, look around you, and you will come to see that you do not have to go too far to look for a terrorist. Because that husband who turns his wife into a punching bag is a terrorist. Because that smoker who carelessly threw away butt of his burning cigarette into bush, which eventually starts a conflagration is a terrorist. Because worker who goes on strike to demand better pay is also a terrorist. The list has not ended. If you are suspected of producing nuclear weapons, especially if you live in North Korea, you are a terrorist. If it is thought that you are hiding weapons of mass destruction, and your country is called Iraq, you are a terrorist. If you are an Arab Muslim from Middle-East, you are a terrorist. If you are an undocumented immigrant in United States, you must be a terrorist. I am not yet finished.

A majority of doctors in most other states are cutting back on patient care because of rising malpractice insurance premiums. I have a riddle for those doctors: What's difference between an auto mechanic and a medical surgeon? Answer: An auto mechanic doesn't leave his tools inside object he worked on! A study by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard School of Public Health found that surgeons ignore standard practice of counting surgical tools before and after an operation, resulting in tools being left inside bodies of 1,500 people each year. The actual number of people with surgical tools left inside their bodies is much higher because hospitals are not required to report mistakes. Surgeons leave clamps, electrodes, sponges and other surgical tools inside bodies of people. In several cases, 11 inch metal retractors where left inside people. Sometimes people didn't know that a surgical tool had been left inside their body. Many of tools where found in later surgeries.
