I realize the problems with using the word "terrorist" in the context in which I use. I am not blinded to that fact. However, given the pitfalls I make a choice to use the term rather than going into the details of the groups we are at war with.

She does not really clarify how "we" wished it, or even who the collective "we" is (I doubt children or unborn children could be people who wished to be killed by terrorists). She talks about the immorality of "globalization" as if at some point in time some group of people sat down and decided on a "globalization" strategy the way terrorist sat down and planned 9/11 and other acts. It seems her rant is in search of some phantom reason for people wanting to kill "us".
