An unintentional missile strike on a school because of bad intel , likely from Iran itself, isn't murdering . Read up on what the target was supposed to be. Then read up on the thousands of Iranians they killed who were innocents and murdered in cold blood. Quite a difference. Terrorism has a definition. it isn't freedom fighters. Freedom Fighters The Goal: They fight to liberate a group of people from oppression, foreign occupation, or tyranny, typically seeking self-determination, civil rights, or human rights The Targets: They typically follow the laws of armed conflict, aiming their actions strictly at military targets, government infrastructure, and armed oppressors. The Perception: They are widely viewed as legitimate resistance movements by the international community or by the people they are fighting to liberate. (For example, George Washington and the American colonists were viewed as rebels and terrorists by the British Crown, but achieved the status of freedom fighters when they won the war). Terrorists The Goal: They may have political, ideological, or religious objectives, but the means to achieve them relies on coercion and fear. [1, 2] The Targets: They deliberately target civilians, non-combatants, and public infrastructure to maximize fear, disrupt society, and force a government or population to meet their demands. The Perception: Their methods are universally condemned under international humanitarian law and they are designated as extremist or criminal organizations by governments and global bodies like the United Nations. America is not the leaders of the free world. Every country are their own entity. America, again seeing you keep missing this point, is a super power comprised of all countries in one place. There were no Americans here a long time ago. They're all immigrants from all countries. this is a good reason they want to defend other countries.
