USA has terrorized half the world in the name of global security. Started wars that turned into wars of attrition, wars that bred more ‘terrorists’ than they killed. Drone attacks left orphans and rage and radicalization in their wake.
We have been labeled terrorists by most of the world.
It’s not only a matter of perspective but also of acknowledging our own short-sighted role as neoimperialists and incubators of modern day terrorism.
