| That's because your definition of "terror act" is limited to what America wants you to believe is a terror act. Do you really think that when bombs are dropped over in the middle east, those innocent civilians don't think it's a terror act? Just cause America declares war before going in doesn't automatically mean it's not a terror act and that it's okay to do so. As someone already mentioned, America made up its own rules, so you think it's okay because they are playing within their own rules. Why does ANYONE else have to play by those rules? You don't join a monopoly game and say "I get to go twice when it's my turn" and expect everyone else to let you do so, and then give people shit for not playing by your rules. Quote:

When a middle eastern person comes to the usa, they don't target military bases, they blow up innocent people. My point stands.
| yea, because they have such great manpower/technology to waltz into a US military base strapped with bombs. We attack what we want because we HAVE the power to do so. Oh, we want that base gone? lets send out a drone and fire some missiles. They don't have that shit.
you don't get it do you? we (well, the US) walk into other countries and kill innocent civilians and then use the excuse "oh, they got in the way, we were after a military target.... oops", day after day. There are rarely any consequences. And only if the media gets a hold of it, do soldiers even get charged. We don't get sanctioned by the UN. But the people over there put up with this everyday and nobody gives a shit. And us over here? we're conditioned to believe everything is dandy and justified. Another country decides to test some missiles, or build nukes? Sanctioned. America launches drones/missiles, drops bombs/nukes, kills innocent civilians? No problem.
The point of their terror acts are to show people that this shit is real. A bombing kills a dozen people, and we go ape shit over here. Well, take that and multiply it a couple times each day.
I am in no way saying it is okay for any of this to happen, but you have to understand and put things in perspective, not just take what you have been told or hear from the media. |
