What Dev said is true, do you see all the so called terrorists who are fighting the US right now in countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq etc? They are just fighting for their own rights, so that the US military would get the fuck out of their country.
For example, if Germany was occupying the USA right now. The freedom fighters in that country would attempt to liberate the USA so that the Germans would leave. Thus, they would also be similarly classified as terrorists.
It's not a war on terror, it's more of a race on who will be the most richest and who gets the most resources.
