#3: Expand for those of us who understand the definition of "terrorist" and "fact" and are unable to decipher your biased jibberish.
Last I checked some US soldiers were killing innocent people and taking a chopped finger for trophy, that doesn't make the US military force terrorist, does it? But hey, the US is still in my terrorist list. Yeah, I have a terrorist list of my own dummie.
US soldiers 'killed Afghan civilians for sport and collected fingers as trophies'

And I guess that you haven't heard that the definition is very simple and it hasn't changed once.

Sport =/= Terrorism, so you're right it certainly doesn't make the entire US military force terrorists and it doesn't even make those five sickos terrorists. Make up your own word, you can use "sicko" if you like.

There's no point arguing over semantics. If killing innocents for sport isn't "terrorism" by definition, it's at least borderline close.
Bottom line is both scenarios are awarded with the "murdering" title.

I like this post only because it illustrates the irony that would occur if China loaned the U.S money to attack Iran. Wouldn't China risk damage to any of their investments in Iran (do they even have any? pardon my ignorance)? I know that Russia would have a lot to lose from such an attack.

Please dont be silly. The US is one of a relative handful of nations with complete and unfettered access to lazer based anti missile tech, and Im sure if they decided to go to war with Iran, they would have thier bases covered in lazer mesh so fine you could split hairs with it.
No the only question to consider here is this:
Would an attack on Iran be moraly correct. If so , why ? And if not, what are you going to do to ensure any government which supports such an action is not re elected? Because I can assure you, if the American people continue to allow the presence of dangerous warmongers in an apparantly free nation, then I think the US will find it increasingly hard to gain support in the future, for pretty much anything.
Edit to add:
The question of attacking Iran with the excuse that some Taleban are Iranian is ridiculous. There are white British, American, Australian members too, but if the US wants to rumble with Britain or Australia on that basis, then it will have to wipe out its own population also. What an idiot notion.
You cannot make a nation responsible for the actions of a few morons who happen to have been born in it. Fact is , those who join these groups are no longer proper members of thier home nations , because joining such a group requires loyalty which overides the thoughts of national pride, and loyalty to ones queen ,king, president or prime minister which may be familiar to patriots of those nations.
