I wonder if America is called a terrorist organization now days. In my opinion we literally are. If you look at it from a perspective. We tell countries what they can and what they can't do. If they don't abide we basically go to war with them and change their government and maybe to an extent their culture for them. Is this not a form of terrorism? To force a country to do something against their will. In my opinion it is, but that's just me. An it's not just with Iran and Iraq, which are recent acts of this, but over the years America has picked up the title "The World Police", if you go back in history you see several acts of this. Isn't this a bit hypocritical really? I mean what if the sides flopped. What if it was America being invaded (Probably as foreign countries see it, not being liberated as we see it.), what if it was our government being forced to change, our heritage and culture being altered. Can one really say that they would be comfortable with that situation? I would think not, but then again there's always the possibility. I hear a lot of "Well Iran is a hostile country", I imagine though that foreign countries considered us hostile, their stance would probably come from our recent acts; Afghanistan, Iraq, and now a situation with Iran. Would that mean that we should also be forced to destroy our nuclear weapons, stop all uranium enrichment in America, and not to mention the power shortages that we would start to have if we where stripped of our nuclear power plants.
P.S. This was not intended to offend anyone, it was merely a speculation. Maybe I will get some feedback for a good discussion/debate on this one. By the way please excuse any grammer/spelling errors in this reply.

Exactly. Because we all know no country but the US has ever invaded anyone. Saddam didn't invade Kuwait. Iran won't nuke Israel if they get the chance. The Sudanese aren't committing tribal slaughter in Darfur.

I'm stealing that one....LOL!
We're just kidding about that terrorist stuff. We're really at war with most of Islam.
No.
It is the way of the world.
You're too used to sheer comfort to understand.

such self loathing and cultural relativism here.
Putting The " F " Back In Freedom.
Scott, that you?
You can play with the word "terrorist" all you want. We are at war with fanatical Islam. Terrorism is simply the method of the enemy. We must fight the Wahhabists, Mujahideens, and Jihadists, or we all die and the banner of Islam will fly over our heads.
Durka Durka Durka...JIHAD!
