A real terrorist like Al-Zarqawi, who actually killed people deserve what he got, but why do people constantly keep comparing the both of them by callng Bush a terrorist?

I'll call him a monkey, I'll call him Chimpy McFlightsuit, I'll call him Mr. Cheney's performing pet chimp, I'll call him a front man for corporate America, a shill, a political hack, a man without brains or conscience.....but one thing I can't honestly call him is a terrorist.

It's called RESPONSIBILITY. Al-Zarqawi is called a terrorist for killing people that he didn't personally kill but since he gave the orders to kill them or to make plans to kill them, he's responsible for these people's deaths. The same logic applies to Bush. He gave the order to attack Iraq and hence, set into motion the deaths of thousands of people just to bring American "democracy" to Iraq. To some people, that is the action of a terrorist. After all the justifications used, it's still someone trying to scare someone into following the same belief system using violence, fear and hate. That's why so many people call Bush a terrorist. He uses the war in Iraq as an opportunity to be called a 'wartime president' and to him, it's a game since he's never had to put his life on the line for any of his beliefs. But to others who know it's not a game, treating matters of life and death as if it's nothing is the action of an immoral and evil terrorist.

I would call Bush a proxy killer. He seems to send out a lot of innocent people to kill innocent people. He is maybe paying back his dues to the source of his power, or to the System. He, like Clinton and Kerry, is a member of Skull and Bones. How did the organization get that name? The terrorists "higher up" in their organizations generally also work in the capacity of proxy killer, sending others out to do the dirty work, while their own hands are kept clean.
Anyone who is a part of the chain at all is a killer. The people who send the hands on killers out to murder seem to be exercising the most choice in the matter.

First do you actually that you have to do a deed to be guilty when it happens. There have been many deaths caused by decisions of leaders for which they bare guilt. Hitler may not have actually killed a single person himself but his orders killed millions.
I think calling Bush a terrorist is a bit too much but there may well be people who have suffered because of orders he gave and to them he may be a terrorist.

Why do people bring up the fact that our American forefathers were terrorists as well? I don't know. Perhaps people have forgotten that it is this great country that allows them to talk like that and they should respect that freedom because not everyone has it. People should be ashamed to say something like that as he is our leader and we need to support him if we want to continue to have freedoms.

Bush has created policies that have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people. That doesn't make him a terrorist but it does make him responsible for great evil.

They call him that because even though he has never actually killed someone, he has given orders that have resulted in the death of many people, innocent Iraqi's and others.

because terrorists don't have to kill people to be terrorists. they do outrages or angering acts to cause people to feel terrorized.
Alot of people consider things like tapping phone lines to be terrorist-esque. Other times they're just being hateful.
Don't get me wrong, personally, i don't approve but it's childish to call him a terrorist. moron or draft-dodger I accept, but people are really just showing disapproval.

Just because he did not personally pull the trigger does not mean he does not have the power to stop the violence he has encouraged the entire time he has been president.
