attempting to broker peace is not an act of hegemony. If we use our influence over the Israelis or Palestinians in an attempt to change their policies or actions, then yes, it is. You should really look these words up before you start using them so much. diverting the focus to what you want to talk about. Well, sometimes I have to pull you back from the tangents you head off on after twisting other people's words. Your terms, then? You've mentioned the Chinese Embassy, though the Clinton administration said it was an accident and took full responsibility for it. Though I harbor no admiration for Clinton, I can't imagine that he would "deliberately" (your word) target it. In any case, that does not qualify as "terrorism". Since you don't want to answer my questions about Kuwait or South Africa, what else have you got? Baby formula factories in Iraq? Assuming you didn't make that up, I would guess that either 1) Saddam lied about what it was, 2) it was unintended (collateral) damage in a war, or 3) it was targeted based on faulty intelligence data that indicated it to be a valid war target. In any of those cases, it does not qualify as terrorism or "deliberately killing innocent civilians". Try again.
