"Destruction of water resources and of forest catchments and aquifers is a form of terrorism. Denying poor people access to water by privatizing water distribution or polluting wells and rivers is also terrorism. In the ecological context of water wars, terrorists are not just those hiding in the caves of Afghanistan. "
Vandana Shiva

International borders are imaginary lines drawn by people with imaginary power that separate the imaginary rights of one people from the imaginary rights of another people.
