The path to Peace passes through a dangerous territory marked by warfare between two great and selfish evils: Fascism and Terrorism. These evils have stood against one another since the beginning of human history, forever attempting to co-opt the people of the world to one side or another.
The terrorist has no control. The fascist has robbed him of it and is too powerful to kill. For this reason, the terrorist resorts to the only strategy he has left: self-deprecating sacrifice in the face of the monolithic villain of fascism.
The fascist has all of the control. The terrorist threatens to take it from him and is too small and quick to fight with force. For this reason, the fascist resorts to the only strategy he has left: inconsiderate sacrifice of those he controls in the face of the verminous infestation of terrorism.
The terrorist preaches fear of the fascist and the fascist's ways. The terrorist omits that if he were to defeat the fascist, he would become a fascist.

While the fascist has control and enslaves you to keep it, the terrorist who seeks it will kill you to take it. If their positions were reversed, we would have but to swap their names. The only difference between the two is that one fights with the double-edged sword of order, the other an indiscriminate bomb of chaos.
Because they cannot kill eachother, we are the tools of their folly. We are the innocents, targeted by terrorists. We are the free, imprisoned by fascists. And we may be stuck between a rock and a hard place, but we must remember: The enemy of our enemy is not our friend.
We cannot run to the arms of one of these evils to save us from the other. The truth is that these evils are one evil. Just as the terrorist will not save you from the fascist. The fascist will not save or free you from anything.
On the path to Peace through the war of fascism and terrorism, your freedom is as important as your life. The fascist tells you that you will be safe from the terrorist without your freedom.
Don't believe him. He's lying.
He cannot protect. He can only control.
And if killing you or letting you die will keep his control from the terrorist...
He'll do it.
