America The Unjust

In today's world, people throw around the word terrorist so easily and freely. When someone does a vicious act, especially if they are from another ethnic group, they are viewed to America as terrorists. Well one must sit back and ponder to the question whether America it self can be looked at as a terrorist organization.

Terrorist tend to think of brutal and violent acts against humanity and go forth with them, and if one says that America has not done this when it comes to the war in Iraq/ Afghanistan then they are truly mistaken. The violent acts that American soldiers used to torture the Iraqi's and Afghans can definitely fall under the category of terrorism. If the roles were reversed, we as Americans would be calling for their heads but sense it isn't we just do whatever we want and just say they were terrorists and then no one really thinks to much about it. I believe Obama said it best in his speech for the Nobel prize, he made a statement saying that war between armies and civilians have become intertwined. Yes, what happened that September day was awful and horrific and as an American I was highly enraged, but if we knew who did it then what was the need for us to drop bombs over a city during the night? Maybe some of them were terrorists but the vast majority were not, that's like saying that because my friend steals that makes me a thief.

America has always been known to try and show their power and " flex their muscles" . What was the reason for going to Iraq? Oh wait their are multiple reasons, why can't the government firmly decide on the reason as to which we are fighting? Let's take Bush's reasoning as to why we went into Iraq, for those who don't remember it was due to weapons of mass destruction. After we looked and looked and could not find any why was it that we went to war with them? Bush's actions could be found is a sense as terrorism. By no means am I saying that Saddam deserved to live, but to kill him in that way and infiltrate his country and kill his people was in a sense terrorism. Again, if the roles were reversed we as Americans would fight to the very end to save our country and people and in a sense that is what the Iraqi's are doing. Make no mistake I love my country but they have done wrong and it is time that it pointed out, Bush's actions killed hundreds of thousands of lives and yet he won't have to answer for them? How is this just, there is no way one can say that Bush was in the right to declare war on a country when the reasoning behind it is a false reasoning.

America by all means has a right to be brutal with Iraqi's, but not every single one of them only those directly associated with the actions that happened that September day. Bush's actions can be thought of as a terrorist act and yet he will always be known for fighting terrorism and not the lives he caused to die. America is a great and true country, but to think that are actions to certain things are just is just to far fetched.
