well said... history is written by the victors...Originally posted by Poh Ah Pak:Which terrorists?
George and his gang were also considered traitors and terrorists by the British.
Sun Yat Sen also terrorist to the Qing regime.
They don't need a lot of manpower, just some very destructive weapons, say NBCs, I remember that Russia did lose some nuclear metrological devices 2 years back and not all recovered. If such devices were used to make dirty bombs, expect several thousands to be affected.Originally posted by Poh Ah Pak:Terrorists organisations usually only have a handful of troops.
Genocide needs a lot of manpower.
I don't think such a policy can succeed.
Which group wants genocide?
worst misinformation ever.Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:Yeah, but founding fathers of countries will also limit their damage to military objectives. Modern day terrorists are out for widespread genocide.

Carpet bombing, anyone?
It's good PC to say you want to limit collateral damage. But if your most dangerous enemy is hidden amongst people you don't really care about, and you have the ability to take out that entire block of people....few people would really think twice over it.

Did the founding fathers of the present United States have bombers to execute carpet bombing? Second, they do not want to live in a land they ruined themselves so they could be indepedent.Originally posted by deathbait:worst misinformation ever.
