Which is a bad thing because usually people die due to this terrorist act.
In here; I'm not discussing terrorism practiced by parents as a raising tactic; neither am I discussing terrorism practiced by humans to discipline kittens into obedient pets.
I'm discussing fatal type of terrorism, that take place through "armed attacks", with intention to spread fear through murder.
An example for this type of terrorism, is the American nuclear bombing of Japan...

Listen, I'll respect your viewpoint as well as anybody else's but you have to make a case for it if you're going to make an inflammatory remark like that.
What would you have had the U.S. government do in WWII? The Japanese attacked US, remember? They had lost the war at the point but they were NOT willing to agree to any terms of surrender at that point without such a dramatic event such as the nuclear attacks. I'll fully admit that those attacks were a human tragedy but the situation had been researched. If we were forced to attack the Japanese homeland in the conventional way in order to bring a close to the war, the body count would have been far worse. Look it up. What were we to do?
I'm not a fan of US (or any other kind of imperialism). Perhaps the US could have avoided the war in the first place with better behavior. History isn't my subject but as far far as I know, the Japanese of that era were evil bastards. I think we all needed to improve and still need to improve. But the Japanese brought their fate down upon themselves. The cost was high but they learned from their mistakes quite well. They rose again and this time became one of the most prominent and respected powers on the planet for peace.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
