You are aware that the US achieved it's "democracy" through terrorism? Or are you saying that once government oppression is defeated globally there will be no more need for terrorism? If that is the case I must inform you that there are also oppressive "democracies" ( I use the word in quotes because it's meaning has been butchered) like the aforementioned Russia.

The best way to avoid problems is by discussion. To talk is to understand. to understand is to find a common ground. Within a common ground there can be found peace.

Technically speaking, we did not. Our goal was not to spread terror among the civilian population, therefore we did not engage in terrorism.

There is no need for terrorism now.

I have not seen any so far.

From what I have seen on here, the Russians like their government the way it is. If so, how is it oppressive?

It may be overbearing to us, but the Russians themselves don't seem to be all that annoyed with it, and the Russian masses technically still have legal control over their government.

actually harm would be done because, trying to negotiate, in the eyes of the Middle Eastern guerrila armies and those type negotiation is done when one side doesnt want to fight at all or when one side is losing and either way it makes America look weak in the eyes of the Taliban warlords and look weak is the last thing we need to do right now
