How can Blair fight a war on terror? Terror is not an ideology or an army; terror is a technique.

 
David Hockney
 

lf the attribute of popular government in peace is virtue, the attribute of popular government in revolution is at one and the same time virtue and terror, virtue without which terror is fatal, terror without which virtue is impotent. The terror is nothing but justice, prompt, severe, inflexible; it is thus an emanation of virtue.

If the White Terror can only retard the historical rise of the proletariat, the Red Terror hastens the destruction of the bourgeoisie.

 
Leon Trotsky

Maximilien Robespierre
 

Horror is always aware of its cause; terror never is. That is precisely what makes terror terrifying.
