Doesn't Bush Meet The Definition of a Terrorist?
What is terrorism? Isn't it using fear to attain a political objective? In my opinion you don't need to murder people to meet this definition. Before the 2004 election we had several terror alerts and after Bush "won" re-election these terror alerts stopped. These terror alerts had the effect of putting fear in the American People and Bush achieved his political objective of winning the 2004 election. So I suppose if you use evidence, Bush is a terrorist.

2. The US gov't has been killing civilians for decades to make
countries do what we want. He's just the lastest in a long list. But he's not even trying to hide the crimes. In fact, he seems somewhat proud of his "war" record.

5. Exactly. I was just about to say, "to an Iraqi, Bush is definitely a
terrorist.

By the way. The way God is currently interpreted would classify him as a terrorist too. In fact, he's the ultimate terrorist because he threatens you for eternity. Believe or zap!

4. He's not the only one. NYC's incumbent mayor was...
leading by 12 pts in the polls (early OCT) until he rode a bogus subway scare to a thirty plus point lead. FBI said later that there * had been no plot*.

Bloomberg never looked back and won by 19 pts. Demagoguery... on this issue, at least... never fails .
