A terrorist is one who will attack to "create terror". They target civilians and other weak targets. Women. Children. Hospitals.
If there is ANY sort of military engagement that can encourage them to kill innocents in their own nation, then they are already "Extremists".
I can't fathom any circumstance under which it would become defendable practice inside the borders of this country. No matter if the Soviets had conquored. Attacking a public school would not change that one bit.
The administration is giving credence to the concept of "terrorism". Moral equivalence and all that. They engage in war crimes. They deliberately target civilians. They are never denounced for their actions. We are told that we must "understand" their rage and "negotiate" with them.
They must end their supremist ideology. It can no more be tolerated than Nazism. They don't have to agree that Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and converts away from Islam aren't damned but they cannot kill them over it.
Unless it becomes clear that terrorists die in numbers so big that all but the most insane stop terrorizing people.
0bama won't scare any terrorists. More innocents will die than would have even if 1000 terrorists were "created." (Kinda like jobs saved.)
