Terrorism

Ok so some shitty ass obscure tyranny pisses off some of it's citizens and we happen to buy oil from them so they decide to murder some of our civilians.

We retaliate and the terrorists say "THEY ARE AT WAR WITH US NOW".

We do nothing and the terrorists say "THEY ARE WEAK, WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT!".

If you hate america and love terrorists, even by taking the terrorist's side it is obvious that there is nothing we can do to stop them attacking us. So we must retaliate. Therefore the war to defend Iraqi and Afghanistani civilians from terrorism was the correct course of action.

Terrorism is not an ideology ffs! Its a tactic, its a variant of guerrilla war fare. When people disguised themselves as indians and threw tea into the boston harbor, that was an terrorist act in the eyes of the brittish crown (and nobody has ever EVER called their own actions terrorist).
One thing with terrorism is that it forces the recipient to up his control mechanism, turning his state into a police state. This has been the overt agenda for many terrorist groups, that through murder, kidnapping and blowing up stuff forcing the country to become fascist. This as seen as a good goal because the more brutal a state is the more recruits the terrorist org will get. Read moar.
