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. Governments, therefore, cannot be terroristic by definition. A government can support a terrorist, or the terrorist's goals, but cannot itself ''be'' terroristic.
