Kermit Roosevelt

edit

Describing Kermit Roosevelt as a terrorist does not require state approval from the USA. To be a terrorist you simply have to do actions which constitute terrorism such as doing unlawful violence and intimidation against civilians for a political aim, which is exactly what he did as the sources clearly show when he did that to overthrow the entire government of Iran. Had he been Iranian and done identical acts against the USA instead, we would call him a terrorist. It goes both ways.

The sources provided clearly display that there is no speculation involved here, he was directly and personally responsible for thinking of and then executing a terrorist plot against Iran's government and civilians and is responsible for the deaths of all of the civilians killed through his terrorist actions.

If you think he is not a terrorist, find me even one source which says that he did not do these actions which are the actions of a terrorist (and pretty much the only thing he is even notable for). If you want to present counter evidence to explain how the terrorist acts he directly undertook were not terrorism then feel free, but don't delete facts just because they don't fit your US centric "history is written and defined by the winners" world view. Facts and facts and acts are acts no matter who did it. Any murderer is a murderer and any terrorist is a terrorist, doesn't matter what nationality they are or what state they were supported by.

Terrorist - Noun:

"a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."

This is an exact description of his actions which are displayed in the sources provided. If you disagree, take it up with the fact of history and find a source which shows he wasn't a terrorist and didn't do these terrorist acts. 91.125.23.152 (talk) 19:02, 10 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia isn’t the place for political opinions or propaganda. He was never labeled a terrorist by any organization, government, or charged with any crimes by law. The sources you provided are sources for opinions, which are already discussed further down the page, where they appropriately belong. Please refrain from disruptive edits that aren’t relevant to the article. Ljray92 (talk) 02:29, 11 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
