When the bulk of the world can't tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" anymore, the terrorists are winning.
Ah, but by this you imply that the U.S.A. (probably the only country in the world with a continued military engagement from the 1860's to date - never on it's own land!) was at some point a good guy.
Terrorist, noun: One who utilizes the systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve political objectives, while disguised as a civilian non-combatant. (source: "define:terroist" on google)
In light of the above definition, I beg to differ: outside of your borders (where, by definition, people are less subjective on U.S.A.-related issues) it is widely regarded that the U.S.A. is probably the biggest world terrorist. But what can one expect from a country so energy dependent on one hand, in a constant oil acquisition frenzy on the other and to top it all off, a probably bigger military yearly budget than the rest of the world put together...
Just thought you'd enjoy a sobering thought or two...
