This page is dedicated to Thomas Jefferson, one of the greatest American presidents, the author of the Declaration of Independence and the greatest advocate of public education as a precursor to true independence. I call him the intellectual engine of the American Revolution. As a human being he had flaws, but even at that, America has not produced such a great man even after more than 200 years. He was one of the greatest role models from the Candle Age to Computer Age and beyond.

"Enlighten the people… and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirit at the dawn of day." -Thomas Jefferson Home Page Welcome to the website of Ali A. Parsa, Ph. D. TerrorismAndHowToStopIt.org Introduction Some 250 years ago only a handful of American Revolutionaries managed to free the American colonies from the yoke of the most fearsome colonial power on earth. Nothing short of complete victory of good over evil weakened the resolve of these colonized men, not even the massacre of their innocent fellow citizens, destruction of their libraries, hospitals and even burning the White House. Prior to its humiliating defeat, the colonial power arrogantly called these revolutionaries “terrorists” and had set price on their heads! There are at lease two valuable lessons to be learned from this major event. First, all great changes are initiated by a small number of people. Second, the few men effecting the change are called extremists-a source of fear for the public that prefers status quo. However, the truth is that like coin extremism has two sides-good and evil, depending on the education, ethics and conviction of the revolutionaries. Without any bias, the American Revolution was the most, if not the noblest revolutions for good cause that was necessary to meet the challenge of that time and beyond. By contrast we cannot say that with the so-called “War on Terror” that is draining our human and financial resources and terrorizing the world. This is nothing but undoing the American Revolution. Thomas Jefferson would call it “Tyranny of body and mind.” In short, this war is waged by the progenies of the extremists who were opposed to the American Revolution and its ideals from the start. This website is an attempt to express my deep concern for an unprecedented assault of colonial mentality and hypocrisy on freedom and democracy. The good news is that increasingly more Americans are waking up to the reality that they have been taken for a long ride and the time has finally come to reclaim this country from the extremists. America is being stripped of its fundamental and unique values that were meant to be prerequisite for preservation of the “government of the people.” We are suffering from a self-inflicted wound and it is high time we recall this Thomas Jefferson’s words, “An empire collapses more from within than from without.” This website, in the most simple way, will show how a minority motivated by ignorance, arrogance and greed are destroying America through conspiracy and falsehood with no regard for “truth that make America free.”   After this Home Page, pages 2, 3 and 4 will be called Roots of Terror, America the Liberator, America, the Colonizer respectively.  Page 5 will be the conclusion. As a history lover I enrich my pages by inserting inspiring albeit increasingly forgotten words of wisdom by some great thinkers who have completed the journey of life. In short, America is grappling with runaway hypocrisy. This to be distinguished from mild hypocrisy that is an integral part of defense mechanism in human beings. “May God protect this empire from hypocrisy, enemy and drought.” -Cyrus the Great, Persian emperor, 500 B.C. “The world is graveyard of empires that failed to meet the challenge of their time.”-Eric Fromm
