Ya, golly, the title "Terrorism's bad...except when we do it" tells a truth. Americans are just as bad or worse than Israel in comitting terrorist acts.

I am thinking of South America in the 1980s when 1000s upon 1000s of socialists were slaughtered, often assassinated by the exact kind "sneak up and shoot and run" tactic of terrorists, and it was done by the CIA or their hired guns. They would also plant bombs that were not unlike the IEDs so famous in Iraq and Afghanistan. Terrorism, by definition!!

Bush the Elder, in his time as CIA chief, and as the right hand of Reagan and Ford, comitted 100s of terrorist acts. Read Robert Parry's book, for one account.

Baby Bush ordered that bombing of an Iraq restaurant where they thought Saddam was eating, but he wasn't, and they killed about 80 innocent Iraqis - that was a terrorist act for sure.

I could go on and on, but suffice to say that I believe that America is the world's #1 terrorist state, and not just by the terrorist acts the perpertrate. But that does not mean I disagree with what you say about Israel comitting terrorist acts, because they certainly do.

"The War on Terror" was a war on an abstract noun. When, exactly, would such a war END? When all nouns cease to exist?
