I think so because Bush is trying to push his religious idealogy on them. If Muslims don't belive in democracy then why try and force it on them?

What religious idealogy is President Bush pushing? Democracy is not a religious idealogy. Next congress voted on a war on terror not President Bush. I believe going into Iraq to get rid of a minnie Hitler like Sadam was right and just. should we have let that monster keep doing what he wanted? Now that he is gone I think we should have left a long time ago and concentrate on Osama.

Whether some act of violence is "terrorism" or not largely depends on one's point of view. To those on the receiving end it is "terrorism", but to those doing it, it is "promoting freedom and democracy", "disarming mini hitler-like dictators" or "jihad" or something else.

Watch the 256k Real media stream from the link at the top of the text. Pull the time slider to 14 minutes to watch a short excerpt from the documentary, followed by an interview with the presenter in the documentary, followed by a much longer excerpt from the documentary. It is about how the US media influences public opinion in the run up to a war.

May be to the muslims , on the US part , Iraq war is terrorism.Its a matter how one views at it. Muslims certainly believe in democracy but not the one thrusted upon them by other nation.

I may be very unpopular after I say this, but after seeing parts of a documentary, that will be released to the public in 08, I believe that People from our countrey took down the twin towers.
There is much proof and after seeing the evidence, I was left awestruck.....
So in a round about way, the answer to your question is no..the reason for the war in Irac is to divert attention from what is happening here, and to get the Patriot Act passed.

No.
Whatever might be put to America's account, deliberate targeting of civilians as strategy isn't a charge that would stick.
Admittedly "You must become a liberal democracy" is stance neither liberal nor democratic.
And liberal democracies haven't really come to terms with democratic processes that vote into power governments not to the taste of liberal democracies. Witness their treatment of the Hamas government.

yes, I believe so killing people for oil is terrorism killing children they should be ashamed of themselves I mean they are in Iraq they came with their own feet and they are the victims wow media does have a lot of power but everyone is going to die eventually and they will face Allah !!!
P.S: there is no different views killing Innocent people is murder and is terrorism it's not different because the people who are being killed are Muslims and you are American that doesn't mean it's justified, it's still is murder

Bush is a terrorist. His cronies are terrorists. the military is full of terrorists, often using je*us as their excuse for their terrorism, which confirms their terrorist status.
I'm not touching the Muslim part- they, like the rest of the world, are individuals.
