"While the U.S. has a terrible record of international terrorism as well as domestic terrorism, the problem lies in our humanity."

Can you please expound on this "terrible record" that the U.S. allegedly has amassed?

While we certainly have made mistakes, to make declarations as to an alleged pattern of terrorism (and please don't bring up the straw man WOD) without providing proof, borders on being delusional.

In brief response to your #49 post, I'll mention recent U.S. terrorism. In 1998 we destroyed 50% of the pharmaceutical resources of Sudan in a missile strike. We were not at war. This illegal act of foreign attack on a civilian facility, murdering civilians in the strike, was a crystal-clear demonstration of international terrorism. We've engaged in it for over 200 years. The most obvious recent domestic terrorism occurred in 1993 when the federal government attacked and later tortured young children with a gas lethal to children (CS/methylene chloride). The federal government's attack resulted in nearly 100 deaths and evidence provides a strong case for intentional murder. No federal, of course, was ever prosecuted. *****************abababababab *********************************I do not intend to respond to the other posters, some of whom have demonstrated peculiar responses in their unwillingness to discuss the topics or facts and their fantasies that I'm moving to Afghanistan. Furthermore, they've revealed a low level of comprehension and a lack of awareness of their own personal susceptibility to delusional ideation. (Our frailty of delusional ideation has been experimentally proved and demonstrated by two different fields of research. It is interesting that it is not addressed in textbooks nor in undergraduate and even some graduate classes. It is this frailty, of course, that accounts for our susceptibility to propaganda.)
