In his Sept. 20, 2001, speech to America, President George W. Bush used the words "terror," "terrorist," or "terrorism," but he never defined the term. To help you clarify their ideas about what people mean when they use the word "terrorist," read the following scenario:
"The government of Country A is very unhappy with the government of Country B, whose leaders came to power in a revolution that threw out the former Country B dictator. Country A decides to do everything in its power to overthrow the new leaders of Country B. It begins funding a guerrilla army that attacks Country B from another country next door. Country A also builds army bases in the next door country and allows the guerrilla army to use its bases. Country A supplies almost all of the weapons and supplies of the guerrilla army fighting Country B. The guerrillas generally try to avoid fighting Country B's army. Instead, they attack clinics, schools, and cooperative farms. Sometimes they mine the roads. Many, many civilians are killed and maimed by the Country A-supported guerrillas. Consistently, the guerrillas raid Country B and then retreat into the country next door where Country A has military bases."
Then answer these follow-up questions:

—Richard Falk, professor emeritus of international law, Princeton University
The latter two quotes appear in Richard Falk's "Thinking About Terrorism," The Nation , 6/28/86

Systematic actions taken
To destroy or exterminate
A group of people
Based on a specific characteristic of the group (such as race, religion, ethnicity)
The United Nations approved the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This convention establishes "genocide” as an international crime, which signatory nations “undertake to prevent and punish.” It defines genocide as:
