clipper's remarks: Perhaps people should be reminded that "terroism" according to the U.S. is:
...any activity that (A) involves a violent act or and act dangerous to human life that is violation of the criminal law of the United States or any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State; and (B) appears to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping. -- From the United States Code Congressional and Administrative News, 98th Congress, Second Session, 1984, Oct. 19, volume 2; par. 3077, 98 STAT. 2707 (West Publishing Co., 1984)

Now, what is the US doing through force?
