Alexander the Great conquered most of the known world (at his time obviously) on the pretence of spreading democracy (mainly in asia minor). What the U.S. is doing is no new thing, and neither is it evil, it just has different spin on it, people aren't willing to believe it anymore (what with the more advanced media thses days, we know too many of the gory details). Oh, and Alex managed it a little more smoothly.

What I am saying is that people have been dying in wars for centuries... people have been tortured, abused, but the difference is that now we have the media giving us nice juicy little tidbits to be horrified with. All I'm saying is that it's not like the Bush government are doing anything new.
It is Bush who has the 'wrong' rights as to the true statistical numbers of those killed DUE to the invasion. We do not know until people get out there and do proper unbiased studies. Media cannot do this.

Originally posted by 7ate9In it's exact form, yes, because they usually blow stuff up.. (Guy Fawkes is probably the closest to that...) But couldn't someone like Robin Hood have been percieved as a terrorist? Or basically any other bandit, more so the ones that prayed on the weak using terror to gain tributes etc.
Terrorism is new.

TRUE STATISTICAL FIGURES NEED TO BE FOUND OF DEAD PEOPLE DUE TO THE AMERICAN LED INVASION OF IRAQ.
THESE ARE EASILY FOUND THROUGH DEAD PEOPLE BEFORE AND DEAD PEOPLE AFTER.
WHY LOOK AWAY FROM THE TERRORISM AMERICA HAS CAUSED AS A RESULT OF THEIR EXCESS FORCE AND STAY BLINDED TO THE FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AMERICA IS NOT SUPERIOR, AS GOD LOVES THE PEOPLE IN IRAQ MORE.

I ain't here to win a battle over you, fool.
