Oh! Ok. That's funny, I was thinking making a "shock & awe" joke. Maybe not that funny. I just remembered, don't forget all the state-sponsored terrorism the U.S. sanctioned against other countries; CIA coups &
Northwoods documents might make some good examples?
Regarding all that speculation about another economic collapse, you should read or listen to a series called "the wizards of money", you might find it interesting.
What are we discussing here anyways? If it's okay to use terrorist tactics against an oppressive non-democratic government? It's probably not a smart idea.
Here's a question though, if you targeted a business executive who was the head of a major conglomorate that made a non-democratic and corporatist state possible, and he was completely aware of all the terrible things he was helping make possible, would that count as terrorism?
I guess what I'm asking is what makes a target legitimate?
