no no, war and terrorism are not necessarily bad. they are words. thats like saying racism is bad. its the context.
were more than 15 years since 9/11 and ppl dont even know what terrorism is. :S
im using google defintions of both words, not picking and choosing. i mean i guess your right since most US wars by international law are illegal which more accurately fits the definiton of terrorism. not saying other countries governments dont do state terror aka war, but US govt does it the most currently. maybe china will beat it in the future
