Excuse me??

Because the US experienced it's first "terrorist attack" and appears to have become very knowledgable on the subject - it may be worth commenting on other democratic countries who actually do have democracy as it is generally known worldwide.

ETA in Spain has existed since Roman Times in some form or other. You are prob right there - it sure does not happen overnight

The IRA did not need democracy to spread - they never even considered it but had another Guinness instead.

BTW... Why did the US support terrorist organisations in Ireland and openly have dinners and functions (including those at the Whitehouse) to raise money for terrorism?? Ah.. sorry.. that was for "freedom fighters".
