Are you talking about our drone attacks firing scores of rockets in Pakistan or the scores of cruise missiles fired on Libya that resulted in the Beghazi attack? You have to be more specific when you say terrorist.
The never ending crisis who cares, the faster we tell that part of the world to fck off the better.

I was responding to YOU. You said "terrorists" when they were showing pictures of bloody children as a result of US manufactured bombs. I was looking for clarification of your definition of terrorist since firing scores of rockets seems to be part of your definition.
let's be the 'good neighbor' airlift everyone out, drop them off in, say, egypt and blow the land off the map...
let's see if god can rebuild it...
just curious....if not....let them all blow the sh!t out of each other.....until they figure out GOD COULD CARE LESS ABOUT A PIECE OF PROPERTY AT A CERTAIN LATITUDE/LONGITUDE ON EARTH WHEN HE/SHE HAS OTHER PLANETS OUT IN THE BIG BIG UNIVERSE....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

No, better yet, blame the dirt poor person killed by Smith and Wesson for defending themselves. Then call them terrorist and kill them preempively. Oh, and Smith and Wesson will make the guns and ammo to due it.
