[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="kuraimen"]You might to reread that...that is the Federal Criminal code and as such pertains to domestic crimes. Well the other definitions say nothing about the perpetrator being not a state either. So the H&N bombs also apply US Patriot Act of 2001: terrorist activities include • threatening, conspiring or attempting to hijack airplanes, boats, buses or other vehicles. • threatening, conspiring or attempting to commit acts of violence on any "protected" persons, such as government officials • any crime committed with "the use of any weapon or dangerous device," when the intent of the crime is determined to be the endangerment of public safety or substantial property damage rather than for "mere personal monetary gain FBI definition of terrorism: The unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a Government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.LMFAO!!!! I just found this document about the various definitions of terrorism. http://www.azdema.gov/museum/famousbattles/pdf/Terrorism%20Definitions%20072809.pdf
Here is the US government definition.
"…activities that involve violent… or life-threatening acts… that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State and… appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and…(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States…"
H&N bombs also fit that definition by the way since it say nothing about the perpetrator being a state or not. So now the US is biased too?
Although the last sentence make it almost seem like they are trying to say terrorism exist only if the act is perpetrated against the US LOL. Typical american BS.

So you are now trying to use a 21st century definition that applies to what happens today to events that happened 65 years ago when a country was at war with an aggressor? That's rich. Sorry, you are grasping at straws there. The simple facts are the events of August 6th and 9th 1945 happened under a formal declaration of war and helped to end a very costly war that would have been made more costly with an invasion. Those events have no comparison to what happened 55 years after the fact to a populace that was not actively engaged in any declared war against anyone.
