Tracy, people might consider this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Rainbow_Warrior and reflect on attitudes towards other nations who have and haven't committed overt terrorist acts of war on us.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,2087877,00.html is also worth review. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
