Abstract
Since 9/11, terrorism has come to occupy center stage in twenty-first-century political discourse. Yet the problem long precedes some planes hitting two tall buildings on a bright autumn morning. Gandhi not only was aware of the problem but even wrote about it, using the very word. What self-deceptions about terrorism are we prey to, and how can Gandhi help us resolve this endless war on ourselves?
