The death of an organ, organism, person, family, community, organization, city, state, nation or world --- comes about as, and because, its respective parts fail to communicate/cooperate with different parts. In the absence of honesty, openness and accurate sharing of information --- integration, cooperation, collaboration and integrity cease to exist. Disintegration and death then prevail. The process of disintegration and death may be gradual --- as in occasions of slowly escalating: dominance, coercion, violence and preparations for war. Or, the process of disintegration and death may be sudden, as in occasions when terrorists and official militarists explode unofficial and official weapons of mass destruction which disintegrate the terrorists/militarists of both unofficial and official kinds. The use of official acts of terrorism often leads to more disintegration that the use of un-official acts of terrorism. Official terrorism does not eliminate or reduce unofficial terrorism.
