Quote:Terrorism: the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.


That is a perfect description of U.S. foreign policy. And I do not think it was badly executed or fumbled. Everything is going as planned We need to get over the idea that U.S. Presidents call the shots - they do not. The real leaders do not hold office and many of the wealthiest people on the planet do not appear on the Forbes List.

With that loose definition all forejgn military actions should be consider terrorism.


Terrorism is when civilians are targeted for the purpose of striking fear in the population. We've made way to many interventions over the last 30 years but were not directly targeting civilians for the purpose of fear.


You loose all credibility with loose definitions to makea point with hyperbole.


Now its fair to say our interventionist policies have created an environment that fostered groups which became terroist or that our actions have been counterproductive at best and more intervention is the last thing we need, I'd agree there. It's time to clean up our mess by bombing isis to the stone age, end all middle Eastern foreign aid and go home
