Do you know what terrorism is? How about Saddam's gassing of tens of thousands of Kurds? How about the systematic elimination of anyone who disagreed with him? How about the constant torture of anyone Saddam and family chose at random? How about the Iraqi women who had no rights, not even to education, and any of whom could be raped by Saddam, his family, or his military at any time?
The Taliban was every bit as bad as Saddam's regime. And you want to focus on George Bush and Tony Blair. That's a shame. A real shame.

Why don't you travel to Iraq for a visit, walk down the street in your "I'm an American who cares about you" T-shirt, and see how fast your pretty little face ends up on the BBC and CNN as yet another hostage needing help from George and Tony.
When we can walk the streets of Baghdad as freely as we do Berlin, then and only then can we say our work is done and we did it well.
The job our troops are performing in Iraq and Afghanistan are no different than the work performed by our troops in past conflicts.
It is their hard work and sacrifices which give you the peace to sleep at night without the fear that strangers might break in your door and maim your family simply because your an American.
You should be proud that your neighbor is brave enough to put his/her life at risk for you, not condemn governments for organizing our strengths and resources so that those risks are as few as humanly possible.
I would support our intervention into any compromised situation if it involved human rights. This is to include the death of any who stood in the way of justice.
So to answer your question, no I would not say that our combined governments crusade into these countries could ever be viewed as Terrorism, if anything it was the Humane thing to do. O.K. Question, but on the edge of possible treason.

No, it is not terrorism when we go in and remove a hostile regime. I wish that all of you peace at any cost people will get a clue. If we do not stand up to the violence, than it will never stop. Every time this country has not stopped an aggressor in the early stage ( say 1993 after the first World Trade bombing) the enemy has growing stronger and more cocky.
