technically yes, our forefathers were terrorist. some of them stole and destroyed british goods. some citizens beat, and killed british officials and loyalist. and then we began an uprising against britian.
so should we really be so hard on violent uprising in the middle east?

Re: America was founded by terrorist? discuss.
at the time we were considered pretty barbaric for having the nerve to use guerrilla tactics, hiding behind cover when being shot at, and attacking loyalist civilians.
The abolitionist John Brown murdered people, incited slave rebellion, and wrote in his own biography that he was using terror to change the course of the nation.
The KKK murdered and terrorized thousands of blacks, Hispanics, sympathetic whites, and just about anyone else they saw as a threat to their bastardized version of Christianity laced with white superiority from the Civil War to modern times.
US history is awash with what the media, politicians, and the populace at large would define as terrorism if it were happening in a Middle Eastern society.

my main point is... in the 1700s we were pissed off at England for the way we treated them so much that were killed them, stole and destroyed there stuff, ect....
so, there is a reason why there is a terrorism goin in on in the middle east. just ask yourself Why are they so pissed.
our government just shouldn't give a f*ck about what is goin on over there.

Long story short, the answer is yes, but short story long the answer is no.
Basically to the victor goes the spoils and he who controls the education controls the story, blah blah blah.
If Germany won WW2, you can rest assured who would be the bad guy in all the movies and who would be the good guy.
Hope that helps.

Are you serious?
So with your logic, all stereotypes will fit all backgrounds, right?
I guess Jews will be cheap, Catholics are child molesters, Christians are...
Whatever. You get the picture, right?
Instead of perpetuating stereotypes, why not try to understand that just because the media labels a particular group "terrorists" doesn't mean it's true.

No they weren't terrorists. Terrorists target civilians and that would be pretty stupid to target your fellow colonists.

Only 20% of the population at that time wanted to revolt, so they were attacking the other 80%

Yes, they did tar and feather loyalists, but to obfuscate the term terrorism and then apply it to something like 9/11 and Boston Tea Party has only the purpose of propaganda.

the underdog in any conflict needs to resort to guerrilla tactics in order to win. the US couldn't have taken down the British in those days with conventional warfare.
