When does a state become a terrorist against those people it is supposed to defend?

When they create a "Homeland Security" department that smacks of "Brown Shirts." When they concentrate on a country that has lots of oil instead of determinedly pursuing the person really responsible for 911. When they erode our freedoms more and more every day. When they illegally wiretap phone calls and track millions of others. When the Vice President has ties to a new string of gas stations.  When the VP has ties to a company like Halliburton.  Whatever happened to conflict of interest?\n\nHere is a quotation mistakenly attributed to Benjamin Franklin, but was actually someone else.  "Those who surrender essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."\n\nThink about it, folks.

With the advent of terrorism, security had been intensified to prevent bombings and violence.  Thus, Security personnel had been rigid in inspections in almost all populated establishments because of the threat of terrorism.  To address this menace, private security agencies played a great role in protecting many places frequented by people.  The Homeland Security  also provided many policies to be observed by different entities for protection against terrorism.  Let us unite to fight terrorism.

You are more likely to be a victim of crime than terrorism. This just shows you where their priorities lie. Scaremongering rather than solving.

Yours is a rather intolerant rhetorical question.  Tolerance needs to be consistent.  However, we need to protect ourselves from physical harm and what we all recognize as criminal behavior.  I prefer to permit people to express themselves openly and freely.  The terrorists lost the battle of ideas and ideals and had to resort to violence.  \nPlayground bully's do the same thing.  When that happens, we call the authorities to protect our rights.

It is the governmet's reaction to terrorists that scares me the most. they are taking all my rights away, one by one, using terrorism as an excuse. if I didn't know better, I would say the U.S. gov. is treating terrorists like Nazi Germany treated Jews.

The United States military does not target civilians intentionally. Thats what the terrorist do! And yes there was terrorists there before we took Iraq. To be an "Insurgent" you must be a member of a political party. What political party do the so called "Insurgents" belong to? Answer, none! The terrorist hide behind the innocent! If you cant figure that out, your in need of an EDUCATION DEVOID OF LIBERALISM! Would I send my son there? If he wanted to go then I would support him. I can't force him to do anything. He will have to make that choice on his own.

The way to win against terrorist is not with bombs but with policy changes. We need to get at the root of the problem, not just attack the periphery. Why do they hate us? They hate us for our indiscriminate use of overwhelming power (Iraq), and our unconditional support of repressive regimes (Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc). Forcing Israel to abide by international treaties and laws, admitting our mistakes in Iraq, and removing support for Saudi Arabia's, Pakistan's, and Israel's oppressive and destructive governments would go a long way toward striking at the root of the problem.

Country X is supporting terrorism through their inaction. If they won't do something to stop the deaths of millions of your people, you should be well within your rights to hold them accountable for the actions of their citizens, rebels or not. If you have to take them out just to fight the rebels on their home turf instead of yours, then so be it.

Terrorism:\n  A word the United States government tells its media to say when the freedom fighters of the invaded country try to win back what the U.S. wants to push its totalitarian regime(new world order) on the invaded country,other state,local municipalities. in other words it is someone who has a pair and gives all and is willing to fight to the death to regain lost ground and does not want what the U.N. pushes.

Since it is extremely difficult to defeat terrorists without adopting their methods, as Golda Meir did post the Munich Olympic massacre, governments are faced with the dilema of being branded as state terrorists. Religious terrorists are generally much harder to deal with, as their fanaticism is instilled in them from birth, and often supported by State Governments. Recent events in Iraq and Afganistan illustrate the fact that in most circumstances terrorists are funded and supported by external Governments as part of a global strategy, adopted to put pressure on Western Alliances (USA, UK, EU.). This global strategy is usually aimed at resolving the Palestine/Israel situation, so I suppose the only answer to the question is It is pointless negotiating with terrorists as individual organisations, resolution can only be obtained by pusuading their sponsors to cease their support.

You have heard people from both sides say that if a terrorist attacked the United States then whoever dies deserved it.  This is because there are stupid people on both sides.  Anyone anywhere with any political affiliation has some moron thinking that they deserve to die; that's just how things are.  Humans are far from perfect.

The vast majority of countries are not targeted by terrorist organisations.  The best source of information is the World Factbook.  Please see the link below.

Global hegemony makes us a target from terrorism.  If you want more terrorist attacks, then by all means invade sovereign nations for no real reason.  However, if you actually want to keep our country safe, it's probably best to keep our heads down.
