I am not now nor have I ever been an American (USA) . I lived in California for 4 years as a student. and spent some time in Texas and of course went to Florida in the middle of winter. Other than that I always felt privilaged to come home to my much more free safe and cleaner homeland . I like the US in part the TV shows you produce are on the whole the best in the world the weather is enviable but I and every other Canadian I know is pretty happy to visit but not live there.

Answer 1

Yes, Bush Sr. is a terrorist!!! I've been saying this for years.... Thank You!


This is for anyone who tells me I can just leave MY LAND OUR COUNTRY!! I'm part Native American........... maybe you should think about what your saying before you make a real fool of yourself!!! Even if you don't think back that far.......Its still not fair to have such a corrupted government. Our founding fathers are ROLLING OVER in their graves right now. We have lost our way!! We need to take a stand and get the EVIL out!

Answer 2

No your wrong there Pal,The U.S. government are terrorists, not the people of the country.Do you think the farmer in Maine wants to see his 18 year old son get killed in wars for oil and profit?He is probably just realizing that his Nazi president along with the other Nazis in the White house and Congress orchestrated the destruction of the Twin Towers to terrorize the American people into giving up their rights and freedoms voluntarily and allow The Fuhrer George to conquer the world for The New World Order and oil and profit of course.Adolph Hitler once said something to this effect;"The more outrageous the terrorist act commited by the government on its own people,the less likely the people will believe it was the government."

Answer 3

Of course not. Terrorists are defined by America - whoever they say is a terrorist is a terrorist. This would explain why some pretty nasty countries, like Sudan, Congo and the US's best pal - Saudi Arabia aren't terrorists. It's not in US interests, despite the fact that the people may well want a regeime change, and help from America.

Of course America IS a terrorist nation. But then so are lots of countries.

Answer 4

Americans are very cool indeed. It's very essential that we separate a regime or state from people. Does everybody in Iran support Ahmadinejad? Of course not.
But US foreign policy is primarily based on an economy that is stimulated by an increase in arms sales. That worked in some ways in the 20th century but the situation has changed and US is now the most hated country in the world.
Call it the sweet land of liberty while it's a %100 police regime.

Answer 5

No, we are not a terrorist country. We are often asked to give money and resources to under-privileged nations, we are asked to intervene in other country's affairs - and then are blamed for all the deaths and destruction. All other countries want our friendship when they want our money and support, but then (with the exception of Britain) they call us "evil" or "terrorist's" when they find they can use it to their advantage. Until the UN develops some courage the US is the only country that can "unite" the world in order to help their fellow man. We are not perfect, but we are not terrorist.

Answer 6

Absolutely not! Do you remember the movie Spiderman? "With great power comes great responsibility." As the leader of the free world, we have a lot of power. However, we choose to exercise our power to support democracy and freedom. I am very proud of our nation and how our leaders choose to exercise the responsibility that we have towards other nations. Our nation is one of few that has the backbone to support democracy and the freeworld. However, freedom comes with a price. Our freedom took many, many years and the deaths of many, many soldiers. We cannot lose sight of the goal - a world where people do not live in fear of dictators. Someone (some nation) needs to enforce what is true and right. If we inspire terror, it is terror against evil.

Answer 7

The USA does engage in a number of "questionable" scenarios. What makes the U.S. different is that we traditionally do not target non-combatants. We target those acting against our interests, be they security, finance, resource, or other issues which might serve to destabilize our society. We do not typically target civilian buildings, mass transit systems, etc. We warn of our impending attacks and generally try diplomacy first. To characterize us as terrorists would not be a true representation of our policies.

Answer 8

We are only terrorist to the terrorist that are unable to take what they give. So what do they do they complain how unfair America is while they also continue to kill Innocent people. Now if you wish to believe an terrorist then that is on you..... But how many aircraft do we crash into their building... You are an idiot to believe them. But maybe you did not have family working in the twin towers........ P.S. or had a family member on a aircraft that they blew up over Scotland. Soldiers have to take their chance, Because of what they are paid to do. But what did the Babbie's do to them that were in and aircraft that they decided blow up. But they are the first to cry foul when you do to them what they have done to you. So the next time they cry foul I want you to tell me the foul thing that they did to Innocent Babbie's....... Or just shut your foul mouth up.

Answer 9

Based on your loosely defined definition of a "terrorist nation", please name one country that does not meet that definition. Oh, you can't? Well, then your definition doesn't serve to do much, does it?

Perhaps you should focus on the stated motivations.

Hezbollah -> kill all jews and eradicate Isreal.
US -> spread democracy to underpriveleged nations and prevent dictators from killing millions of their own citizens.

Or are you a big proponent of genocide?

You don't like USA -> please leave. We aren't preventing you from voting with your feet. So why are you staying? What was that? Because you like to reap the benefits of living here while you mewl and whine about what we do to create those benefits.

Hit the road, J.A.

Answer 10

We aren't reckless and unpredictable like Islamic countries and Dictatorships. We won't launch nuclear or biological weapons at innocent people. The US, UK, Israel and France are the only world powers that can be trusted to not ruthlessly kill everyone they disagree with. We have killed civilians but unlike Hezbollah, we don't aim for them or kidnap them and chop their heads off with a serrated knife.
