Groups Considered to be Terrorist Organizations Funded by the United States
== '''Terrorism''' ==
== '''Terrorism''' ==
Terrorism is the use of terror, violence, and intimidation to achieve an end. Terrorism also refers to any fear and subjugation produced by this. Terrorism, by nature, is anarchic, and therefore not sustainable as a governmental system. The term is also used to describe violence or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians by groups or persons for political or ideological goals. Terrorism is the unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons. Terrorists are occasionally viewed as "[[freedom fighter|freedom fighting]]" (see [[Che Guevara]]), but this distinction is almost exclusively a western concept.
