:I partly agree with you about your understanding of how to implement the policy, but I argue that is exactly what this articles does and tries to dobut I disagree with the rest. First of all we do not take any truth or falsehood stances as wikipedians. You seem to violate that when you state your own opinion regarding these claims, i.e., you believe that that claims is "patently rediculous." Really? I disagree, but that is not for us to agree or disagree with the claims. Many people hold the US as a major Terrorist State, and there is a lot of facts supporting this conceptual framework, as articulated by the various notable critics of US policies and practices. This article states these claims and explores the relevant scholarly and notable   literature (growing) on the subject. There is nothing exceptional about these widely held views that reflect a significant school of thought within academia about the role of the US empire abroad, much like other empires in the past. That the US has not engaged in any state terror is indeed the patently rediculous claim that is beyond exception, in my view. But again this is not about our views, per se. However, exceptional claim it is not.
