What is terrorism?

what is terrorism as defined by you?

premeditated, political attack on an unsuspecting country, it is used as a method to get their beliefs to a wide audience.

like Hiroshima?

lol..good point.

Nagasaki?

When we did Hiroshima and Nagasaki we were in a war. Now on 9/11 we werent in a war so that terrorism. If you are in a war then its not terrorism and if you are not in a war it is. A good example would have to be Pearl Harbor.

There were various other ways to ending the war with Japan without dropping the atomic bomb. The bombs killed thousands of harmless, innocent victims. Just like 9/11 did. So that I would consider terrorism. Everyone thinks, just because America is the "world leader" we cant be terrorists.

didnt the perpetrators of 9/11 think they were in a Holy War?

Only a liberal could come up with a response like that. They were warned, and by the way they invaded us, remember a little thing called Pearl Harbor, friggin liberals, find a way to poke your finger in the eye of the very country that protects your ass. By the way, quite a few innnocent lives were lost due to the fact that Japan started this war, I doubt very seriously that any soldier wanted to die before he or she had the chance to enjoy the freedoms that you do today.
Red blooded American here, proud to say it and proud of the country in which I live, so any future crap that is about to be spouted, stick it in your liberal arse.

They were warned

weren't we warned about 9/11??

if you think about it every war is in some way an act of terrorism. now having said that I want to also say that the goal of the American military is not to inflict harm on innocent individuals, but the 9-11 act was to inflict harm and instill terror on all US citizens.
