What happens when we are called the terrorists?

I was reading this article in the Washington Post about the level of efficiency of our drones in killing the civilians in Pakistan.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/20/AR2011022002975.html

The reading talks about how many we have 'gotten', the cost of the hardware, (bombs!) that was used and also the numbers of those killed.

I am wondering what the rest of the world thinks of us at this minute? What if they considered us as terrorists and decided as a world entity to start bombing our population centers? What would our response be and why don't we consider what we do as criminal?

Much of what has happened in the world in the past several years has been in response to the actions of the US, not the actions of Muslims, or poor people, or disenfranchised, or.....any other type of bull that has been tossed on us here in the US of A!


How can we decide on a unilateral action and pursue it without considering the consequences of its effect on these rest of the world?  We have always considered, in great detail I might add, the effect of our buying anything we wanted and could have with our seemingly unlimited resources(cash)!  We have been able to control the worlds money markets and now that these things have slipped into the hands of a few individuals we are no longer in the position of having unlimited influence.

I am just no longer able to justify our bullying of the worlds population and would like to have some ideas on what we can do to change this.

Send me your ideas at d_rapson@yahoo.com or leave a comment at one of the blog sites.
