So though I also believe Terrorism and Genocide are wrong our definition of what constitutes Terrorism and Genocide are completely different. I DON'T believe our troops in Iraq are terrorist and I believe the carpet bombing of Germany in WWII was justified regardless of the civilian losses. That goes for the Atomic bombs dropped on Japan as well.

The Atomic bombing of Japan is a bit tougher for me to stomach but end the end it saved countless thousands of American lives and ended Japans involvement in the war. I've seen some of the aftermath and that included some tragic scenes of children who survived the event. It was heartbreaking and I'd wished there were a way to avoid that tragic reality of war. Fact is we have minimized collateral damage and death with technology and rules of engagement but try as we might death is a reality of war.
What is your definition of terrorism?

America really is a great place...Too bad Eric does not believe that to be true.
