If the USA can use terroism against its native indians to take their land Why cant others use terroism for similar reasons. In other words if it is good for the USA to use terroism why is it not good for others Is terroism bad no matter what the reason or is some terroism ok

Ann, how many times are you going to ask this question? First of all it's terrorism, not "terroism". As many times as you have asked this question you should have figured that out. Second, the U.S. didn't invent the idea of conquering lands and claiming them for there own. That was a tradition that began long before our forefathers ever thought about coming here. Even though that doesn't make the wrongs perpetrated on the Native Americans right, all countries have some skeletons in their closet. That having been said, that is no excuse for terrorists today to come and kill our citizens by the thousands. I don't know if you are anti-American or just really that ignorant, but what happened September 11 was totally wrong and if you can't see that then maybe you need for a tragedy like that to happen to people you love so that you can understand just how wrong it really is.

What she wants (I think and hope) is to point out the United States' incongruence and hypocrisy. To charge againts another nation in their very own "Uncle Sam's Jihad" on retaliation for terrorist tactics used against them is almost insulting from an external point of view.
As some of you have pointed out, the USA has, throughout its history and still today, paved their way to power by not-so-honorable tactics that when turned against them are hypocritically used as an excuse to turn themselves into victims.
I do not support terrorism in any of its ways, I'm just expressing my disapproval and disgust at the United States' position towards terrorism.

We don't currently use terrorism against our native indians.
Times and tactics change. If we held every country accountable and treated them all by the same standard that was used 1000 years ago, we would have allowed Hitler to take over Europe and Saddam Hussein to rule the entire Middle East.
And by 'we' I mean the world body, not the US.

That's a VERY good question, Ann!
I think you've made a good point just by asking it.
"Terrorism" is one of those words like "conspiracy" and "sedition" that politicians love because the words are weasels, just like them.
"Speaks with a forked tongue."

I think you need to lookup the definition of terrorism again.
You're confusing it with territorialism.
