Killing people to prevent them to do their work and at the same time scare others to take up the task can easily be defined as terrorism.Originally posted by DaShi View PostWith or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.

We're not stupid enough to wait until they have nuclear weapons to react. We try to eliminate threats before they develop. Iran is a major international terrorism sponsor, they hate us, they hate our allies, and they want one of our closest allies to be utterly obliterated. We are justified in preventing them from becoming a threat. I see no problem with pre-emption.Originally posted by onodera View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Israel is now "one of our closest allies"? If that's the case our leaders are retarded.Comment

Again, that definition is too broad. It applies to executions, warfare, and pretty much any killings. Just admit that you misused the word and move on.Originally posted by BlackCat View Post“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.

True dat, and columbian drug barons can also attack police academies, FBI training centers etc. since they are future threats. That is of course quite justifiableOriginally posted by Hauldren Collider View Post

Yeah, they're one of our closest allies, or have you not been paying attention to the last 60 years of American foreign policy?Originally posted by gribbler View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Your post is so vague that it actually doesn't provide any support for your initial assertion.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostComment

Cost of killing Iranian scientists: the rest of the world hates us more, and they will probably want to retaliate by sponsoring terrorism against usOriginally posted by Hauldren Collider View Post
Benefit: Their nuclear power program is slowed down slightly, so it takes them longer to build nuclear plants, and there's a possibility it could slow down their development of weapons they wouldn't have the balls to use anyway.
Yeah, Gingrich really is a smart guy!Comment

BS. Executions, warfare (ex Wellington butchering enemy soldiers) and killings are good examples of of terrorism. It's you that has a too narrow definition of the word.Originally posted by DaShi View PostWith or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.

BlackCat, it doesn't matter whether they could technically qualify as terrorism, we're using terrorism as a technical term here to mean something very specific.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Terrorism covers both instilling general fear in a society and in special groups.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
