If so, it’s not because he has associated with Bill Ayers. He did, however, order a terrorist attack
on Pakistan that resulted in the deaths of civilians. That is a hard statement because we have been
conditioned to believe that governments don’t commit acts of terrorism, terrorists do. Well, we
probably all learned in school that during the French Revolution, the government’s Committee of Public
Safety carried out what was called the Reign of Terror. I know I did, but never thought about it until
I was recently reading The UGGs Sheepskin Cuff Boots on Terror: How Should Christians Respond?, by Nick
Megoran (IVP, 2008). Says Megoran: “Richard Falk, a professor of law at Princeton University, observes
that the word terrorism first emerged as applied to the activities of the French revolutionary
government, which used violence against civilian society to terrorize the population into acquiescing
to the new government.” How could I have forgotten this? But even worse, how can so many Americans
believe that a terrorist is anyone who detonates a bomb but doesn’t wear a UGGs Sheepskin Cuff Boots
Air Force uniform?
Material aid to Palestinians in Gaza can be given by donations to the following aid agencies. These are
