Like maybe Detroit?  East Oakland (an example even closer to home for me)?

I realize that I'm must be some sort ultra-liberal, anarchist piece of shit
for putting my own concerns before those of our President's well-thought out,
cohesive plan of "global strategic interests," but it really would mean much
more to me to be able to go to East Oakland in reasonable safety than being able
to go to Beirut in reasonable safety.

Well, what else would you call the premeditated peacetime killing of innocent
civilians?  I'd like to know.

What would you have called it if, instead of taking us to court, Nicaragua
had dropped a few cluster bombs around Washington D.C. and San Diego in
retaliation for the CIA mining their harbors?

Would you have called that terrorism?  Probably.

Come to think of it, terrorism probably does describe the Libya raid better
than murder.  After all, that's what terrorism is, isn't it?  The murder of
innocent people to intimidate an adversary into changing their policies?

Hmmm, and state-sponsored terrorism at that.

Stop me before I kill again.
