h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There are terrorists on Earth, this is so but who are they that impose dread upon all men? Is it our rival who causes us such fear that our reaction must destroy them, even if it means betraying our principles; do the men other men label terrorists threaten our existence to the point where we must deny the ethics which form the basis of all we hold dear and all which our ancestors bequeathed us? Is that the aspiration of this modernity we have evolved to? Surely, the enemy is terror to the ally and the ally is terror to the enemy. More certain is that the real terrorist is the common enemy of all humanity, because we, whoever we are, wherever we live witness with our own senses that that is so; a terrifying enemy indeed deceiving all men on Earth, with a subtlety no human can match, with an influence even the greatest Nation has neither the power or the assets to employ. The terrorists human beings must fear are not of their race at all; the destroyers of men are not human beings. Therefore it is wrong that governments, whatever their political or religious persuasion, should seek to label their self appointed enemies as terrorists, because the real terrorists threaten the security of all men, all nations, all political doctrines, all faiths. Thus, Easterners defending their lands from invasion are no more terrorists than the Western invaders, overwhelming the East to defend their way of life. Such causes are human, contrived of mortal frailties, continuing of rivalries that have persisted throughout human history; these and others like them have nations and creed disputed one with the other. Harmful these may be, yet terrorist activity, in the truest sense of what constitutes terror, they are not. Terrorism, true terrorism is that which mortally and immortally threatens human being.
Understand…those we name terrorists are not terrorists at all. All men are of common blood as compared to the real terrorist that is our shared foe. Man of the East, Western man, I tell you, you are brothers. All men on Earth, all human beings are brothers, and sisters. We disagree, but let us not allow our destroyer to use our conflict to come amongst our number and destroy us; get a grip! Be alert to the state of affairs that is brought about and be ashamed! Better to be ashamed than to be eternally disposed of. Because the real terrorist, that one who striking at your very hearts, the weak and the strong of you, wins the warring that you, with all human futility and expense wage. Every one of you with a weapon in your hand, ask your self, why is this weapon in my hand, why is my finger on this trigger; upon the button, which will fire this projectile; which will consign my perceived enemy, my fellow human being, to kingdom come… and all for nothing? Why?
For I can tell you that not one human killer, nor one human killed will enter into a kingdom of everlasting duration; for the terrorist, current, preparing, making ready to strike down all men, all souls, will too destroy all kingdoms, Earth and Heaven the same. Even now this is under way. It is nurtured among us, here, and there, nearby the wealthy, alongside the poor. At one time or other every one of humanity, the best and the worst, the brightest and the dimmest, great men, and scum; all nations, every peoples, even unto the wilderness, all will be accounted as involved. Because it is the entire resource of this Earth, which is mustered against the race of all embodied and disembodied souls.
The terrorists are among all men and are using all men, not even the powerful have the power to resist them, even authorities, with heir great armies, can wage war upon them. 16/11/04
