Where was the terrorism? The building burned, that was arson. ... Won’t be long before some of you will be calling TPing someone’s house a “deliberate act of terrorism”.

There is a huge difference between throwing a roll of toilet paper into a tree and setting a U.S. Embassy on fire. The latter was an act of violence in an effort to coerce and intimidate the United States. By law and definition, it is an act of terrorism.

“By law and definition, it is an act of terrorism.”

Since when are we working off of laws? We broke several international laws by giving someone else’s land to the Muzzies.

“BELGRADE, Serbia — Angry Serbs protesting Kosovo’s independence stormed the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade on Thursday night and set it on fire, as the fringe of a large and generally peaceful demonstration sponsored by the Serbian government turned violent.”

There must have been one level headed person in the mob who said “Let’s burn the embassy to coerce and intimidate the United States” and you must have been there and heard him,
otherwise you wouldn’t be stating that as a fact.
