Tex -USMC- 0 Posted May 30, 2002 A Terrorist is defined as a group or person that attacks civilian targets to instill fear to further their political agenda. I read through the entire judgement, and I noticed that nowhere in the judgement was the word terrorist mentioned, nor were deliberate attacks on civilians mentioned. You say that you have no ill will towards the USA, but then you jump to use this judgement as an example of the US acting as a terrorist state, when there is no evidence of any terroristic action being committed by the US in the judgement. Remember when the Nicaraguan affair occurred. The Cold War was still going. Nicaragua recently became a Communist state by popular dissent, but there was an anti Communist rebel group that the US decided to support, mainly because of what happened with the last Latin American country that went Communist (Cuban Missile Crisis, *cough*). Not trying to excuse the US from any wrongdoing, and we did break international rules of conduct in our dealings with Nicaragua. Hell, all countries break international codes of conduct when they go to war (war is against the law in the International Court of Justice's book). But we did not act in the fashion of a 'terrorist state', and if anything, that judgement only reinforces that fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They had to go all along the European coastline because no country would give them fly over rights. If I remember correctly it was largely in retaliation for the Achilli Lauro and the TWA hijacking, and other string of hijacking and bombings. I was at Rhein-Main AFB when this occured. We went on lock down right quick and school was canceled. Everyone was advised to stay on base and preferably not leave their housing. Some off-base housed people actually came on base and stayed at the large hotel they had on base. Was..."interesting"...for a 12-13 year old....

Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted May 30, 2002 What do you expect if you elect a cowboy-actor as the president of a nuclear power? It is like asking Michael Jackson to Babysit you child for an evening. You just shouldnt do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
