Is BUSH A TERRORIST?

Question

According to Dictionary.com, a Terrorist is:

1. A person who terrorizes or frightens others ...

2. One that engages in acts or an act of terrorism; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities ...

3. A person who tries to frighten people or governments into doing what he/she wants by using or threatening violence ...

Ohhh, Nooo ... not OUR President!! I mean ... that DEAR, HONEST, SHINING example of what a HUMAN BEING should STAND for has NEVER done ANYTHING in the DARK!!

You know how they say all things DONE IN THE DARK shall soon COME TO LIGHT?! Well ... doesn't the light ALWAYS shine on that DEAR, SWEET MAN?!

We all know that George BUSH has NEVER ... EVer ... terrorized OR frightened ANYone!! He's NEVer resorted to using religion as a cover for ulterior motives ... and he's CERTAINLY never, never, NEVer tried to bully ANY nation into doing what he wanted with threats OR threats of violence!!

WHAT 'chu people THINKing?! Sweet BUSH?! NAAH!!!

Poor baby ... DIDN'T MEAN TO ANNOY YOU. is this better?

because if my typing is bothering anyone i can try to do a tad bit b e t t e rrr HOW'S ................ THAT ?!

Wow ... ask a simple question, get some VEry indignant answers. What's with the insults, sweeties?! Is my question hitting a nerve?

Peoples, my question is NOT are ALL POLITICIANS TERRORISTS ... my question is 'Is BUSH A TERRORIST'?

Again ... According To The Definition Of TERRORIST ... Is BUSH A TERRORIST?! Plain And Simple?

Rationalize his actions all you want ... but PLEASE give an honest answer. Whether or not you AGREE with him.

I'm not here to provoke an argument. But it seems that some of you wish to fight over a simple question.

Seriously ... wasn't this country supposed to be founded upon free speech? The FIRST AMENDMENT? Freedom of Speech ... Freedom of The Press ... Freedom of Religion? Why do people advocate FREEDOM OF SPEECH, among OTHER freedoms ... only when it seems to suit THEM?! BUT ... when OTHERS use those same FREEDOMS ... well, certain people attempt to make them feel small about it?

YOU HAVE YOUR OPINIONS
I HAVE MINE!!!!!!!!

I can't fault anybody for agreeing with GEORGE BUSH ... it's only their OPINIONS.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... As BILL and TED advocated ....

BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER!!!

Sabrina ... (weary sigh) ... where am I attacking others for their opinions about Bush? Hmmmm? It seems that I've struck a nerve, Sabrina. Please read my question and comments again ... perhaps when your judgment is no longer so cloudy. Again ... you have your opinions ... I have mine.

It's a simple question. If you can dispense with the accusations and the insults, then perhaps we can pursue our discussion in a more friendly atmosphere. That's all I want. What about you?

Thank you, Daniel ... I appreciate that.

It's really sad how many people actually display a 'need for attention to realign the public school system'; if you cannot react to a single opinion (someone's God-given right) contrary to your own, without insults ... what's the point? Reminds me of a president - who shall go nameless - who lashes out like a spoiled child baby at a certain ex-president - who shall also go nameless.

If you can't take the heat ...

Anybody else? That is ... anybody grown-up enough to continue this discussion without barely-veiled insults?

And since some people seem to have selective memory (RE: the liberal extremists of this country seem to think that enemy combatants have constitutional rights. since when in the last two hundred years has ANY enemy combatant of this country of ANY standing have constitutional rights. our fight against terrorism is a WAR, no more and no less. it would certainly help the continued existance of this country if you could possibly treat it as such) ... I would like to pose another question:

Were the so-called Americans who stole this country from the Natives terrorists? I would think LONG and HARD about that one. According to SOMEone's way of thinking ... THESE PEOPLE who SLAUGHTERED INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN just for their OWN PERSONAL GAIN were ENEMY COMBATANTS of this COUNTRY ... Did they deserve CONSTITUTIONAL rights?!

What did the Natives do to deserve losing their families ... their freedom ... their whole WAY OF EXISTENCE?!

Look back at the definition of terrorism

Do we then have the right to cry 'foul' when so-called illegal immigrants wish to become citizens of this country?

The Great American Melting Pot?! The BIGGEST lie that Americans of majority have tried to feed all Americans.

While you're counting off other TERRORISTS on your ONE HAND ... please also consider:

MILLIONS of AFRICANS were KIDNAPPED and FORCED to this country for the personal gains of so-called AMERICANS ... does that make them terrorists?

Please don't get me started:

Countless Japanese-Americans ... yes, American-born HUMAN BEINGS of Japanese descent ... were FORCED into PRISON CAMPS, IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY during the AMERICAN war with GERMANY and JAPAN!!

Just because of the color of their skin ... a direct parallel with what has happened to Muslims in THIS country. Maybe not as extreme, but I'm sure you'll get the picture.

Who were the TERRORISTS, then?

If there is a WWIII involving AFRICA ... will people of such descent then be terrorized?

Answer 1

No he's not.

FYI, the random capitalization deal, slightly annoying.

edit: Better, thank you. Just FYI'd ya cause even people who agree with you would probably find the random capitalization annoying. The advice, take it or leave it. :-)

edit: Be excellent to yourselves also. ^_^ I love that movie.

edit: Also Jewel, I respect your tenacity. Open discussion are great ways to open talks. Star for you. I don't agree with you, but I respect your right to say it and your respect to hear out others who disagree with you.

edit: no prob, jewel. While I have a problem with the capitalization cause it hurt my eyes, I appreciate someone who makes me think. You did. My conclusion was no. But I do like that you listen to all sides. That shows honesty and ability to look past pre-conceived notions. Look at my last two questions. ^_^ I bashed libs and Cons cause I think everyone needs a bashing every now and then. ^_^ I'm going to add you as a contact cause I think you and Kelly_B are some of the few who keep their ID's and actually challenge me. ^_^

Answer 2

I am not a Bush fan but I think you are using terrorist with a really large brush. Applying the definition the way you have, every political leader that has ever been involved in war is a terrorist. Lincoln was a terrorist for invading the south. Roosevelt was a terrorist for attacking the German and Japanese people. Malcolm X was a terrorist for fighting against white oppression.... I could go on. I see what you are saying, and you have a right to say it. But I think you are painting Bush with too broad a brush. I do believe he is a fool and has a narrow view of the world and his advisors are loyalist syncophants, but I think he is no more a terrorist than any other world leader that has commited troops to war.

Answer 3

Provacative question. Cheney says on the eve of the 2004 election that he fears that if Kerry and Edwards are elected, there'll be another terrorist attack. Bush tells America days before the 2006 midterms that a "vote for the Democrats is a vote for the Terrorists." So, Bush and Cheney would seem to have attempted to terrorize the population into supporting them. Insinuating that if we don't do everything they say, if we don't give them everything they want, then we could die. Anyone who questions this is insinuated to be a traitor. So yes, by that definition, Bush and Cheney are terrorists. Even during WWII, Roosevelt never said "Vote for Dewey and we'll lose the War." However, there is a caveat. Throughout the Cold War, Democrats and Republicans sought to "out-tough" each other and although they weren't nearly as blunt as Bush and Cheney, they did insinuate that the other side wasn't doing all it should in the fight against Communism. Look at Kennedy in 1960 with his talk of a dangerous "missle gap" and "bomber gap" that had developed under Eisenhower (both "gaps" were in Kennedy's imagination entirely it turned out).

Answer 4

thank you for demonstrating the urgent need to vote conservative. hopefully with a WORKING american in charge we can avoid a total and complete lack of understanding of the presidency as youve clearly demonstrated.
no one person, including a president can move this government without the checks and balances in place that have worked well for over two hundred years. the answer to your question is a DEFINITE NO, but in credit to the liberals cause, with your question, you do show a need for attention to realign the public school system.

what we have is a president, who contrary to the clintons, understands completely how to keep it zipped up and do his job. again, contrary to the clintons, he has provided a bonafide defense to al qaeda. there is no terrorism here...ITS A DEFENSE OF TERRORISM.

the liberal extremists of this country seem to think that enemy combatants have constitutional rights. since when in the last two hundred years has ANY enemy combatant of this country of ANY standing have constitutional rights. our fight against terrorism is a WAR, no more and no less. it would certainly help the continued existance of this country if you could possibly treat it as such.

Answer 5

Why do you pose a question then attack others for their opinions?
No, he is not a terrorist and you should be ashamed for asking such a thing. You know better.
You also know all politicians, in every country do things "In the dark" so to speak. Do things that the majority may or may not agree with, things we don't even want to know.
It's a fact of life, it's a cold cruel world out there, always has been always will be. Just be thankful you were born in a free society.
World politics is so huge, so complex, so incestuous, you could drive yourself crazy trying to figure it out, and we don't even know half the facts to even enter to door to the real game of life.

Answer 6

YES YES YES HE IS! THE BIGGEST MOST DANGEROUS ONE AT THAT!!! And you know what AMERICANS LET HIM BE ONE BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO BE IGNORANT!!!!!

And for all your Bush loving ignorant stup*d misinformed and uninformed losers, read some books about history and grow some logic!

America is not Helping anyone but themselves by extorting and forcing their way into countries that didn't want to associate or have anything to do with them.

may be you should care about your president taking care of you americans first before trying to help the Iraqis. How come he cant save all that money and provide you some health care Americans??

Also, if you look back at history US uis the one country that have used weapons of mass destruction multiple times, so doesn that mean America is the real threat given the facts? How would you feel if all the other countrys come in here and do what we did to Iraq and caim to free Americans of their ignorance and closed mind to their history and works of their own goverment by liberating them?? Wouldnt be nice now would it?

Just think about it!

Answer 7

What about the president who had the atomic bomb dropped; twice?

What about the presidents (and comrades) throughout the Cold War, terrorizing the whole world, and indeed, their own people with endless simulations of nuclear war?

If you take that definition, almost every politician of every country can be labeled a terrorist.
President Bush can't do anything without consent of Congress; he did when we went into Afghanistan, into Iraq, and people were starting to gear up for Iran.

What's the difference between a criminal carrying a gun, and a cop carrying a gun? Both follow their laws, both believe they are right, but when society watches the encounter, they always root for the cop.

Answer 8

No, President Bush is not a terrorist. I repeat he is not a terrorist. He is a great President who is respected by most of his advisers and the people of America. He is highly intelligent in dealing with foreign policies.

Good try though.

Peace.

Answer 9

Completely, But he is not alone; all US presidents were more or less guilty of terrorism since Woodrow Wilson.

I am wondering what kind of deal he has made with Iran? We were all set to level it with nukes, and kapow! Boom Bang we are buddies and their nuclear program is not a problem. For whom?

Anyway, now that congress has passed a bill making waterboarding illegal we can't try them for that, even though they did it before the bill was passed and according to the Geneva convention, which we agreed to, there is none of that allowed.

I am wondering about the first guy who answered this question: what fell on his head? Is he a young Republican or just watches too much TV.

Take care.
