Is the United States a Terrorist State?
From The U.S. Government Guide to Surviving Terrorism, we read that the U.S. Department of Defense defines terrorism as "the calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological."
Obviously, yes, since the U.S. continues to use unlawful violence to forcibly impose the ideology of democracy on Iraq.

If terrorism is killing of innocents, then no government or individual(s) have been responsible for killing more innocents than the Americans. Except perhaps Israel.
If it is to instill fear in innocent civilians to achieve political ends, then there are a lot more innocent civilians living in fear of the American military than in fear of any other government or individuals. Except perhaps Israel.
?Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy.? -- Henry Kissinger
?Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third world, because the US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries.? -- Henry Kissinger, reported by Leuren Moret
?The US must carry out some act somewhere in the world which shows its determination to continue to be a world power.? -- Henry Kissinger
?Oil is much too important a commodity to be left in the hands of the Arabs.? -- Henry Kissinger
?I can think of no faster way to unite the American people behind George W. Bush than a terrorist attack on an American target overseas. And I believe George W. Bush will quickly unite the American people through his foreign policy.? -- Henry Kissinger
