I don't think you can make a logical argument that their actions were justified and that this wasn't a terrorist act.
If we were at war with a country and that country bombed us, I would not call that terrorism.
With regard to our invasion of Iraq, the vast majority of Iraqis did in fact see us as liberators. There were plenty of independent polls done over there that showed that. I'm talking about when we first went over there. For the first year or so, over 70% of the population said that they were happy that we came. Things have obviously changed now. At this point, they're starting to get sick of us over there and many of them want us to leave. In addition, many of the people over therea re disappointed that their lives are not better now. They thought that everyting would be great after Saddam was gone and things are not great over there at all.

Again, words...you call the people that flew planes into the WTC terrorists,
I call them religious fanatics. Equally as inflammatory as the Pope's recent remarks. More words. More deaths.
Are we liberating Iraq or occupying it? Hmmm...
"We're winning the war on terror." GWB
Believe what you want.
Last I heard, Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban. The freely elected president of Iraq recently signed an alliance with Iran.
Our brave men and women in our military continue to die...for what?
Words.
