Well, all aggressive military powers commit terrorism, and the biggest ones do it on the biggest scale. The USA just happens to be the biggest one right now, so they get the most attention. This is normal. It's not nice, but it's normal.

When Great Bitain was in Iraq in the 20's they put down a rebellion by Iraqis against British colonial occupation (done mostly for the oil). RAF warplanes slaughtered thousands and thousands of Iraqis, machine-gunning and bombing villages and people riding around on camels and horses. Barely a single British life was lost. That was terrorism on a massive basis. The same sort of thing happens now.

If China becomes the next great power...and they probably will...then the mantle of leading world terrorist will pass to them, and God knows what they will do. What they did in Tibet was not nice at all.

As for Stalin, he committed mass terrorism on his OWN citizens, killing about 20 million, I think it was.

"Terrorists" like the Arabs and Palestinians who blow themselves up with car bombs and stuff like that are the bit players in this arena of destructive activity. They have the will, but not the funds or equipment, to match the terrorism accomplished by great powers.

The USA's foremost exercise in terrorism may have been the Vietnam War, because it resulted in the death of about 3 million Vietnamese, plus a whole lot of Cambodians and some other people in the region, and it led to the rise of the Khymer Rouge who killed half the people in Cambodia. Now THAT's terrorism.

All aggressive military powers are guilty of it. Governments are the biggest terrorists by far.

The USA just happens to have the most firepower and the will to use it at the moment. That is why a lot of people in the World are upset with the USA. It is not particularly a judgement upon ordinary Americans, just on their government's policies. Ordinary Americans don't control their government, they just vote for 2 phony political parties who then control it FOR them, and there's nothing they can really do about it, short of armed revolution and a complete overthrow of the $ySStem, and that's not going to happen. Things aren't bad enough yet in hometown America for that to happen.
