Im going to keep this short and breif I know a lot of people want to argue this point. Now im not going to give you a whole entire page of this or that to sway you to either side your mind must be made up by yourself. My oppinion is currently irrelevant. The bar is quite wide but in the main it will be factoring USA or Iraq or both are responcible. But it goes into smaller detail the US government the Iraqi Government. This US corporation that Iraqi corporation. This US individual that Iraqi individual. Everyone should keep an open mind about what they post. Please dont flame each other and if you have to do it in PM's. I can tell im going to be hated just for creating this thread by some but I just want to see everyones oppinion on the thing.

Discuss.

The terrorists are the guys who drive bomb filled cars....

You post this topic under "debate and serious talk" and yet you leave an option in the poll that says "fuck you".
Now that isn't very serious at all, and as you see in the results it is not very contributing either. I voted for both.

"Terrorist" is a useless term, it's all in the eye of the beholder. It might refer to someone's freedom fighter, insurgent, Muslim (sic!), suicide bomber... Very generalising, but it's useful on the news, and in propaganda.

Not really. A lot of us usually leave that option when making polls. However in this case it was actually needed.

Al Qaeda was formed as an anti-terrorist organisation. (edit: <-- just to add more confusion to the whole issue )

The tradition was started long ago. You can't really have a poll unless there's one joke option.

Yeah, I see it as equivalent of a null vote, except it gets recorded in the stats whereas null votes don't.

Deliberate targeting of non-combatants – It is commonly held that the distinctive nature of terrorism lies in its intentional and specific selection of civilians as direct targets. Much of the time, the victims of terrorism are targeted not because they are threats, but because they are specific "symbols, tools, animals or corrupt beings" that tie into a specific view of the world that the terrorist possess. Their suffering accomplishes the terrorists' goals of instilling fear, getting a message out to an audience, or otherwise accomplishing their political end.

The reason for adding Fuck You other then the certainty of lots of it I also knew most people living in the US would vote that (showing maturity) so low and behold in the serious voting people but the blame on the US government more then on anything else. "claps"

Your not hated as you eluded to in the OP. Some just have a problem deciphering the difference between people that openly have interest in attacking the innocent. They also draw Moral equivalence with people who rejoice in the murder of thousands of non combatant, mothers, and children, rather than a nation that goes out of it's way(although not always successful) to avoid collateral damage. It's pathetic. If the US followed the real terrorist mentality and just went through with unadulterated slaughter, this war in Iraq would have been over a long time ago.

the terrorists are the guys who explode themselves at a wedding party and kill a bunch of people, or who intentionally bomb a school bus full of children, or who drive cars through crowded areas and blow the car up

you don't see americans doing that. So someone explain exactly how the USA is the terrorist?

The terrorists are those who commit acts of terrorism. In other words, just about every nation on the planet.
