Terrorism

The American News networks are ripping on the BBC because they wont call the bombers "terrorists"

One guy read an email asking what the difference between war and terrorism are, just less money I guess.

He responded "Terrorism is meant to target civillians, war is not"

I thought that was a pretty good point. But if thats true then what was Hiroshima, and Nagasaki? What was with napalming the south veitnamese? Whats with the indiscriminite killing of tens of thousands of central and south americans throughout the past few decades? What was 12 years of economic sanctions and bombings of Iraq wich lead to the deaths of over 500,000, thats FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND, children in 12 years. What was "OPERATION SHOCK AND AWE" In baghdad? Our "pre-emptive strike"? That sound almost exactly like they want to involk terror, shock and awe. And our attacks have been estimated to have killed 100,000 civilians so far. Do yourself a favor and dont listen to white house filtered numbers.
