State Terrorism - State Terrorism

[GuerillaTactics]

If the United States, Israel, India and other nations want to end terrorism on their home turf, maybe they should end their state terrorism policies that spawned the birth of the "terrorist" activities against these regimes........ this is my opinion.......what do you think comrades?

well said.

I've always felt that way.
While discussing the Hiroshima bombing in American History class I said to the teacher that it could be called instutionnalized terrorism (or State terrorism) because it was a tremendous act of violence against innocents.

He wasn't against the idea but he said the U$ DID declare war against Japan. For me that's not a good enough reason to let fry thousands of Japanese in their own juice. I think that was totally fucking sick.

Anyway, that was just my opinion.

The point of dropping the Atom Bomb on Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was to instill the fear of death into Japenese civillians ......terrorising the civillian population in hopes of bring japan to its knees and excepting an unconditional surrender................well they succeeded needless to say........ but hey ...like the old saying goes........what goes around comes around

A declaration of war should not absolve anyone from their actions.
Didn't Bin Laden declare war on the US a few years ago?
I think so, if he did does that mean he can nuke Chicago or something?
I imagine there would be hundreds of people who have declared war on the US, I don't think this should give them the right to kill anyone they please.

Exactly!

Terrorism can be on both ends

i agree, and it seems to me to be something of would-be common sense... it has sort of a socratic value today.

When the powerfull strick they are protecting freedom and democracy or if they are a little bit more honest they will say they are protecting their intersts. When the opressed, the hungry, the poor strick back its terrorism.
