Really, John? New levels? You obviously have not read any history of the
way the United States dealt with the American Indians during the 18th,
19th, and even 20th Centuries.
De you have any idea of how many native Americans were slaughtered in
our efforts to take away their lands and resettle them?
One way to define terrorism is the making of war on helpless civilians.
We were pretty damned expert at that.
In fact, even though we lost 3000+ souls on 9-11, and others since, the
total is a tiny fraction of the numbers our government killed in the
terrorism it perpetrated on native Americans.
And how about slavery, John? How many hundreds of thousands, millions of
blacks were terrorized by our policies of human bondage.
