What other countries were we going to invade?

"If you can create sufficient fear in your enemies, you may not have to fight them. Always remember that terror is a form of communication." -- Dukhat, as quoted by Delenn

Points for the Babylon 5 reference. Excellent.

That they can get because they're law enforcement.

Are court orders for searches granted to any entities other than law enforcement?

Never jump bail.

The essence of terrorism is the attempt by non state actors to change government policy by the use of random violence to instill fear in the general population.

Blow up a plane and demand that we stop support for Israel.

Blow up a building and demand we close bases in Saudi Arabia.

If a nation-state did this it would be considered an act of war.

So no, the nuclear option is not a terror tactic. It is a legitimate bargaining chip. Used by nations when negotiating with other nations.

I have no issue with you. I have issues with your argument.

[Universe Prince]

I have no issue with you. I have issues with your argument.

Then why didn't you just answer the question in the first place? Nevermind. Anyway, you apparently do not recognize a difference between terrorism and using terror. So I'll conclude that your answer to the question, if you were ever to actually answer the question, would be a no.

You miss that?

Not at all. You gave that answer only about 16 replies (of yours) away from the initial question. The most current question on the table, however, was "Do you believe the U.S. uses terror, not terrorism, terror as a tactic?" Which you still did not answer. That's okay. I think I have been able to reasonably deduce what your opinion is. And you didn't deny it. So, we're good. You got to act like there was something wrong with me and my questions, and I got a little mental exercise. Everyone wins.

Methinks you project too much.

Where did i ever state that there was something wrong with you?

[Universe Prince]

Possibly the same place I supposedly was guilty of "Conflating military actions like Hiroshima with the criminal acts of 9/11."

That doesn't state there is something wrong with you. It states there is something wrong with your argument.

You understand the difference?

[Universe Prince]

That doesn't state there is something wrong with you. It states there is something wrong with your argument.

You understand the difference?

Yes, of course. And I'm (sarcastically) sure there was no implication that I did not know the difference between military actions and criminal terrorist behavior.

Even if you don't know the difference, that doesn't mean there is something wrong with you.

[Universe Prince]

Yeah. Thanks for that.

[Plane]

Yeah. Thanks for that.

Are you takeing this stuff personally?


What is wrong with you?
