Could Bushco be considered terrorists?
In the run-up to the war they were touting mushroom clouds, nerve gas and all sorts of wmd that Saddam had and could or would use against the United States. Even drones that could deliver the goods. All the while knowing that it was all hype to help sell the war.
Their assertions really scared a lot of people who had not too long before had seen the 9/11 attack repeatedly on t.v., the anthrax in the mail and the D.C. sniper. People had been through a lot. Then Bushco tried to terrify them even more. By definition, terrorists terrify, and that's what the adminstration did.
Comments anyone?

2. That's exactly what they did
inflict terror. The only way they can maintain power is through fear, by making people feel that we must keep them in power or we are in danger. So they made it up and terrorized us.

3. They use an army with uniforms
that is the main difference. the difference isn't one of morals but tactics. It is whther the army is regulars or a mop top crew of blokes from Liverpool.
