please think about it and be honest to yourself while answering it and then read the rest!

ie: there can not be a good devil an a bad devil, right? terrorism is an evil action and therefore unjustifiable.

Hersh: Bush Admin Ran “Executive Assassination Ring”

The investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has revealed the Bush administration ran an ���executive assassination ring” that reported directly to former Vice President Dick Cheney. Hersh says US operatives have secretly gone into countries and executed suspects on a target list. The operation was apparently run under the extra-legal Joint Special Operations Command, overseen only by the White House. Hersh made the disclosure while speaking Tuesday at the University of Minnesota

Update:

from all the answers so far, terrorism seems to be acceptable and a given. so in this case it is only used as an excuse to justify our presence in the gulf and ie; also to prevent Iran from developing nuclear energy(not necessarily an atomic) and keeping them dependant and underdeveloped!

    Firstly it must be realized that the "War on Terror" was fabricated to stimulate the economy, to take people's minds off of the shortcomings of the government, to allow the passage of unConstitutional laws (Patriot acts) and to create an external threat to attempt to unify the country (if you're not with us you're against us!).

    It was necessary for the CIA to "invent" al Queda as a threat, because an organized islamic group did not exist. This was information outed by a former CIA agent during an interview on the BBC about a year ago.

    The CIA has acted as a "terrorist" organization - they have overthrown several democratically elected governments and supplanted them with puppet dictatorships "friendly" to the US. One notable instance was the former Shah of Iran. They also supported Saddam Hussein for awhile, and actually gave him nerve gas. Bin Laden was a CIA agent training fighters in Afghanistan for use against the Russians.

    Now because of the Patriot acts anyone who disagrees with government policy can be deemed a "terrorist", and can be arrested and jailed indefinitely without charges, or can be "rendered" to another country and tortured. These laws are not really there to protect the People against terrorists - they are there to protect the government and the elites against the People. There are large prison camps set up and staffed by FEMA all over the US - right now they are empty, but it looks like the government intends to fill them (but with whom?). What you gonna do when they come for you?

    Nay, the war against terrorism is "the war against terrorism". No, I do not agree Bush is the biggest terrorist ever, though I disagree with many of his decisions. When you say ever, do you exclude Bin Ladin, Saddam? What about the invasion of illegal aliens? Isn't that a type of terrorism launched and sustained by greedy, money loving business? Terrorism threatens a nation's safety and security, in all areas of life.

    As far as I can see, terrorism is in the eye of the beholder. The tactics of Bush and Cheney were as abominable as the actions of the Middle Eastern fundamentalists who attacked us on 9/11. Their attack on Iraq, their approval of torture, this Assassination Squad....all of it boils down to two very evil men conspiring to take the resources from another country, masking it in good intentions, and leading a country astray....while looting its Treasury, I might add.

    That all of these actions were masked by a supposed belief in their Christianity makes it all rather nauseous. Our former Vice President blathering about the necessity of torture on national TV is about as low as you can get. Obama says the Bush/Cheney method of torture is "unsustainable." I think the word should be "criminal," because that's what it is!

    an not anti war because if anybody ever play with my mom or sis id kill them. But terrorism is a bogus trick to rally the ignorance in America .ignorant people in America want to fight against terror thousand of miles away. What about the terrorism in our own neighborhood we got gang bangers shooting up the streets and robbing my grandma house.. Terrorism is not a winnable war. Its a disguise for something else its a way to seduce the ignorance and the fearful in this society. Can anybody explain to me how can you fight terrorism. How can you fight something that you cant see. We laugh at the early Americans and Europeans for killing females who they though were witches. but we cant see our own ignorance. you cant stop terrorism anybody can just walk in room and blow themselves up or shoot up a school. Like the Virginia Tech shooting and countless other school shootings. How can you stop that? isn’t that a form of terrorism weren’t people killed and terrorized. Terror from our own people has killed more then any Arabs did or can. But the average American doesn’t think about that. They are to busy getting fat and worshiping their money and celebrities on TV. this is a fake *** nation. Filled with nothing but materialistic things that don’t mean nothing. Terrorism is just a fake war to take away your so called rights. Americans are scared fat slobs when are you going to wake up. I feel sorry for us.

    They want to take my rights they going to have to murder me!!!

    but they can never murder my thoughts.

    The war on terrorism is about as logical as a war on Mother Nature. Why does the once great country feel the childish need to declare war on everything our semi-illiterate representatives feels might interfere with their agendas? Why is there so much disagreement as to exactly what their agendas really are? Why all the secrecy?

    If anyone is really that concerned about terrorism, perhaps they should learn to deal with the fact that terrorism is just another unpleasant aspect of this life that has always existed and always will exist at small and large scales. There is no real way to accurately fight a war on terror without doing just as much, if not more harm to innocent individuals.

    America would be better off if they just conducted their affairs with the people of the rest of the world the way that our forefathers warned us to over two hundred years ago. If we just minded our own business and stayed out of other countries, I think most of the terrorism emanating from the Middle East would vanish.

    Letting Israel defend itself would be a good place to start. People who take the time to study history learn that the Israelis are just as guilty of terrorism as any other group of people. Now they have the most deadly weapons thanks to our support. If we stopped supporting them, our problems would diminish greatly. This country is circling the drain and we continue to overextend ourselves using our military power to attempt to build and maintain an empire when we can’t even take care of the people living in our own country.

    Some people claim that our very own CIA is the largest terrorist organization in the world. I’ve seen and read a lot to give credibility to this claim. This country is probably the most hypocritical country in the world and thanks to our biased main stream media, the vast majority in this country would likely find that claim outrageous, however, if one were to ask people from other countries if they thought there might be any truth to this claim, the answers received might just shock the awe out of ‘em.

    It was declared, By Bush - and reinforced by The Patriot Act. Select targets Only..

    Anyhows, I can only speak about the Iran Contra and the Drug wars of how they started in my time.

    Before that or otherwise, hey, if the FBI and DEA did their job unhindered, Congress would be raided right about now.

    The CIA has been acting as a terrorist organization for decades. So has the Special Forces, Green Berets and quite possibly the DEA.

    What crap.

    Over the last 61 days the Obama Admin has been running an illegal human trafficking operation out of none other than the Oval Office the AP has uncovered tonight. It is suspected that up to 3,000 girls, all under the age of 18 have been involved in the trafficking network. High level officials including the President and Attorney General are suspected to have played a role. When reached this evening White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs had no comment. Jim Duped and Jill Swindler of AP contributed to this story.

    Do we see how easy it is to lie?

    First you have to deide on a strict definition of a terrorist. Is it only those who come to your country and harm you or is it the people who harm you when you go to their country? Can it be a whole country who "disagrees" with you...you cannot wipe out everyone who disagrees with us...you'd be left with just a few old white men...no ability to procreate.
