Whoops! Maybe you were looking for American Foreign Policy?

“You're either with us or against the US”

~ George W. Bush on Diplomacy

I Can't Believe It's Not Terrorism is a very popular method of dealing with terrorism as well as securing your economic and political interests in foreign nations. I Can't Believe It's Not Terrorism is defined as the threat or use of violence to achieve a political, economic, social, or religious gain. While technically the same as terrorism there are several differences which will be discussed later.

Origins

I Can't Believe It's Not Slavery!

I Can't Believe It's Not Terrorism emerged as an alternative to terrorism in the late 15th century. It was heavily employed by the British and the Spanish but it is unknown who discovered it. The Spanish used it in their conquest discovery and exploration of Latin America, slaughter civilizing of the Indigenous, and capture of African slaves for their own good, the British used it in their conquest liberation of North America, capture of slaves as well as the genocide of American Indians sending the Indians straight to Heaven. Noble reasons were given for genocide the free trip such as converting people to Christianity and civilizing "savages" was the reason given for slavery taking Africans into custody. These are features that distinguish it from terrorism. If done by us and for "noble reasons" then it is acceptable.

Many argue that "I Can't Believe It's Not Terrorism" can be traced back even earlier to the Middle Ages when Christian soldiers attempted to liberate the holy land from the infidels during the Crusades. The rationale behind the "I Can't Believe It Isn't Terrorism" in those days was to kill everyone and let God sort it out. Today, "I Can't Believe It's Not Terrorism" is employed by the Holy Trinity of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel.

Differences between Terrorism and "I Can't Believe It's Not Terrorism"

A clear difference between Terrorism and "I Can't Believe It's Not Terrorism."

Many critics of the Bush and Blair administration point out that there is little difference between the actions of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein and those of Bush and Blair. While on the surface the actions of both Blair and Bush and those of bin Laden and Hussein are similar their intents are completely different. According to Bush "People like Saddam and bin Laden hate us for our freedom while we love freedom". Bush's close alliance with Saudi Arabia as well as his support of Colombian death squads demonstrates this love of freedom. Mass slaughter and destruction are OK when we do it because we are spreading democracy and freedom, when they do it, its because they are spreading fear and hatred. Another difference between "I Can't Believe It's Not Terrorism" and Terrorism is that we have God on our side and they don't. Whether an act of violence is terrorism or "I Can't Believe It's Not Terrorism" also depends on who perpetrates it. If the act is committed by leftist guerrillas in Colombia, socialists or communists in Latin America, Islamic extremists, Basque separatists, or Palestinian militants it is terrorism. If it is committed by American Backed Banana Republics including Colombia, the United Kingdom, Israel, or the United States then it is "I Can't Believe It's Not Terrorism".
