I don't think "we" used terror to start the country (assuming you are talking about the Revolutionary War). Gueriila tactics, yes. Armed insurrection, tes. Terrorism, not that much. There was some threatening of civilians done by both sides, but not violence against civilians or those with voting power to change the political landscape or just to scare people. French and Indian War, though, is a different story. As for the Indian massacres and small pox blankets, that was clearly not terrorism (as they did not want the populace to know it was happening, and would have preferred no survivors). That was simply genocide on a grand scale. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:213399 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
