well youve missed the point, im not sure whether Nerdanel was asking for sympathy for them its just that terrorist and terrorism are being thrown about so often nowadays purely for political gain and at the expence of humans emotions....
hmmm now i think we can fit that into your nice little definition, politicians scaring innocent civilians for political gain.

yeah - i suppose 9/11 really didn't happen did it? let me see - if I drive 45 minutes from MY house do I still get to look on the twin Towers? Why no - I don't. There is terrorism around - whether you want to believe it or not. You can live in your little world of where America is the bad guys if you want - that is fine. I guess what you are basically doing is calling my brother and cousin and Beor - terrrorsts then.

and i read them as i thought they were intended, as questions, once you start making inferences from them you start thinking things like this

They weren't meant as questions. They were meant as an accusation that we have no right to determine what they are called. Are you that blind?

what about bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki was that a terrorist act JD?

No it wasn't - both those cities had military purposes to them. The US WARNED Japan that we would bomb if they did not surrender - they chose not to. It was a war which cost millions of american lives. Sorry - but the japanese chose to attack us in Pearl Harbor, the chose to bring us into the war. Was it terorrism that over a MILLION civilans died for the fight to Berlin?
