      lol terrorists. I see them as victims in a war this country started. So by proxy, we’re the terrorists. What a stupid fucking word!

        I’m calling them by their methods not their politics

        One is a terrorist when one attempts to alter a country by attacks attempting to terrorise the population

        You do recall that they destroyed office buildings with airliners

          I was alive to experience that yes. I’m willing to concede we’re all terrorists further emphasizing the ridiculousness of the word. And thanks for patronizing me! Do you recall what we had done to them in their countries?

            Saudi Arabia? That’s where most of them came from.

            I agree that the West fucked up the Middle East ( though the Soviets didn’t help either).

        If you kill several thousand people to make a point you’re a terrorist.

        The end.
