 TERRORISM -  Strategic tool or International threat   Terrorism is at a crossroad of perception between what is called a " strategic tool to assert power and  independence " but globally recognized as an undeniable threat! This article intends to present an unbiased perspective on what is morally right and globally acceptable in the pursuit of international peace and security—core values that terrorism fundamentally undermines and deliberately disregards.   Before we delve right in, let's have a clear picture as to why terrorism was created -  Terrorism is not new  and neither is it any form of random violence.
