"Who are terrorists?"

northernsun.com

The point being that America was purchased on the back of wars to annihilate or subordinate other cultures, and in history from time to time has had a national policies that people of honor can no longer condone. I am sure this can be said about most modern cultures that have stood the test of time.

The Rat makes a poetic and heart felt point although not relevant to the current circumstance or the challenge to stand against terrorism.

The word terrorism is being abused by all sides in some misguided attempts to garner political support.

Terrorism is the intentional act of causing terror to your enemy by targeting innocents. This can hardly be applied to insurgents who organize themselves in violent opposition against military forces and it can hardly be applied to the current efforts of the US military.
