MR savageson I would like to say that the people who are saying that you are an id eat are idiots them selves. you are absolutely right. and the reason why they are not considered terrorists weapons is because they are with America. it is OK for America to kill thousands of people in other countries but not OK for the other country's to deafens them selves and kill an American solderer back.
well done Mr savageson . absolutely spot on. we need more people like your self in this world.

Why can't people just answer a question like this, instead of acting like they are offended? Answers like "idiot," "get out of my country," do you really think those make a point?
Of course the U.S. has used and still uses weaponry that is meant to create terror. We firebombed cities in WWII in order to break the will of the German and Japanese (killing hundreds of thousands in the process), and used the atomic bombs with the hope that it would break the Japanese will to fight and keep us from having to launch a land invasion which would likely have killed millions.
Even in Iraq, we had a whole operation/plan termed "Shock and Awe," which sought to break the will of the Iraqi military and end the fighting as quickly as possible.
The creation of terror and fear in an enemy has been central to winning conflicts throughout human history. Nothing has changed in the present, we are just able to see pictures. The main reason that we condemn terrorism in others, and are currently engaged in a war against an enemy we deem "terrorist" is that, simply put, they are our enemy. More than any other nation I can think of, the U.S. has long sought to feel itself in a strongly superior moral position when it goes to war - and by labeling a group terrorist even when we as a nation have taken similar actions and killed more people is a way to try to assure ourselves that we are more moral.
Personally, I prefer to say that the enemy is the enemy, and that we need to fight them for that reason - we should kill people like Osama Bin Laden not because they are "evil" or "immoral," but because the job of our government is to protect the People from foreign enemies.
You ask a reasonable question here, but you add so much rhetoric that can only be meant to bring about defensive reactions that you assure no one will take you seriously and that most responses will be nothing better than off the cuff insults with a few agreements mixed in.
All nations that have been any bit powerful in this world have been aggressive - something you can call evil if you believe nations can be either moral or immoral. Among the world's historic Great Powers, the U.S. has on the whole been a pretty benevolent Empire. Of course there are blemishes in our past and our present, but the most powerful nation in history can't reasonably be expected to sit back and let the world pass it by. We can learn from the mistakes in our past and our present, but nothing is gained by trying to get people angry with you for making comments that, even if defensible, are made in such a way that they will rub most everyone the wrong way.

Because they aren't. IMHO you are totally clueless. In reality if you really feel that way you should immigrate to some other country (France for instance) that would be more in line with your thinking. Actually, there are not *any* countries on this planet that haven't used weapons of war so you will have to immigrate to the moon to find a place that would suit you... But you wouldn't know that because you are clueless.

you're lacking the factor fullyyt. this is not that terrorists like muslim extremeists are targetting the administrative.or military yet do exactly not take place to have very precise weapons. they're particularly targetting civilians. So this is not significant what they have been they have been applying, that they had nonetheless be terrorists.

Yes thats right, we killed the VIET CONG dumba.s.s. and then hippies made us leave(do YOU want to live in Vietnam?). And yes, we do use strategic bombing because it works, because quite frankly, if everyones dead, they can't fight. And the fact that you believe we had 9/11 coming makes me wish you f.u.c.k. pigs in h.e.l.l. you terrorist.
And how can you say the US will have an aggressive future? Did the aliens and Osama tell you that to?

er probably because those weapons are actually legitimate legal weapons. The stuff terrorists use are usually illegal, poorly maintained soviet weapons which have no accuracy and contain stuff thats more dangerous than a rhino in a china shop.
Obviously the weapons you have mentioned are dangerous and would blow more than your hat off but if the UN sanctions them then there not terrorist weapons. ( Until Mr Laden gets himself a few that is )
Dont listen to these angry yanks either, its us Brits you should be wary of, well kill you with just our fists if need be.

You're an idiot. With the exception of the atomic bombs and napalm, your list includes weapons that are accurate within inches of the target, to avoid civilian casualties.

(sigh) It's all in WHO they're trying to kill. We don't target civilians, but do our best to minimize collateral damage. It don't mean we always succeed in not taking innocent life. But I somehow doubt you'll be willing to understand how significant that difference is.

Hypocrasy. It is inherent in the human condition. Since the dawn of time you would brand those who you wished to conquer as savages who would think nothing of butchering women and children, and burning villages to the ground. So you'd launch a war against them - kill their women and children and burn their village to the ground. But it's ok, because they're not like us.
Nowadays it is apparantly in the interests of the US that hundreds of thousands of Iraqis die at the hands of their weapons, at the command of politicians who cannot be held accountable for their actions. If it is in the interests of the American people then surely NOTHING, no matter how savage, is unjustifiable - so long as ordinary Americans can continue to wake up in a world where they can drive their SUV 100 yards to the nearest macdonald's and eat their fill.
Politicians are not interested in a perceived morality, or the rights of others to live in peace and prosperity - they are interested in gaining as much as possible for THEIR people. It is not until we can see past our unbelievably selfish and barbaric past that the human race can live at peace. It is unlikely this will happen before we all die due to the wars launched in our interests.

Actually, those are Weapons of Mass Destruction, in Bushspeak US WMD's are not terrorist weapons. I am sure George W. can eloquently explain the difference to you if you ask him politely.

the first 'modern' terrorist weapon was the nuclear bombs dropped on japan. that was done with the fear factor well in the thoughts of stragetists of the time, just as japan sought to instill the same into the us by its attack on pearl.
its not a new strategy however. the mongols of the past would decapitate all the men, and sometimes every citizen of any city that defied them, sending the heads to the next city on their list. it said, defy me and I'll kill you all.
