Quote: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

What hyperbole?  I used the dictionary.com definition of a word.  It clearly describes the U.S. foreign policy, so how is that hyperbole?  Can you apply the same standard to the U.S. that the U.S. applied to Iraq?  We have WMDs too.  Does that mean we shouldn't be allowed to exist?  Should Iraqis kick your door in to keep you "safe"?  Or would you tend to resent that? 

 

You say more intervention is the last thing we need, then suggest another intervention to "clean up our mess"?
