Will politicians fight terrorism?

Need for power

Politicians do not have the willingness to fight terrorism. Long ago, it was said that man is a political animal, meaning thereby that man aspires to rule others or to share the power of governance. Politics, which is the pursuit for power, exerts a corruptive influence on man. In ancient times, politics was not the game of powerToday, not only politicians, but the whole society has deviated from principles and goals. Principles in politics appears to be the odd man out of the big crowd. So one need not blame any particular party or politician for their unwillingness to fight terrorism.
