17. "Contras" immediately flashed into my mind when I heard that remark
Orwell warned us. Subjective interpretation on objective reality results in Double Think.

2. Well (Bush would say), those aren't exported terror, we kept 'em
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 10:46 AM by ET Awful
right here at home.

Anyone who thinks we don't EXPORT terror simply needs to research the School of the Americas.

Or, for that matter, look at the fact that someone we put in power (Pinochet) is finally being called to count.

3. what does he think the US is doing in Iraq?
We are definately "exporting terror."

I don't think there is any question the Iraqi people are feeling terrorized.

18. For once, Junior is correct.
Free societies do not export terra. So what does that tell you about America under the rule of the Bush Criminal Empire?

19. FYI
The events you listed were domestic events and therefore not examples of "exported" terror.

20. World Court indicts USA for terrorist deaths of 30,000 Nicaraguans
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 01:04 PM by LynnTheDem
USA ordered to pay reparations. (Which of course the USA reneged on doing the following year.)

Iraq; 100,000+ Iraqi civilians killed, mostly women & children.

USA; biggest world terrorist on the block.

21. We most certainly do
The United States ranks #1 in arms sales. The number of people killed by American manufactured arms is staggering. I would consider this the export of terror.

And then you have the illegal wars and the propping up of puppet regimes.

It's all very sad when you think about it.
