:Welcome Storm. Long time no see. I have no problem with such an article--but it would be a very big one. Charges of State terrorism is a subsection of the larger umbrella of critics of US policy (human rights violations, violations of international law, war crimes, etc--being other examples that would fall under the category grand category of "Criticism of US foreign policy." State terroism as a concept is notable enough that we can focus in on just that section, for its own article. So, I'm opposed to a name change to this valid and notable concept (yes, i know its POV--but its a notable POV that we can easily fill an article about). But, I am for other article that document and report on other signifant claims, inclding the very broad and large category/title of "Criticism of US foreign policy."[[User:Giovanni33|Giovanni33]] 00:36, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

The initalinitial complaint here is the semantic problem - does it mean the US is making the allegations (as some say it could be read as?), or the allegations are about the US. Surely instead of converting the title to weasel words, a solution should be to fix the title whilst retaining it's meaning. In stead of reinventing the wheel, and kicking open a can of worms, should we not just apply a simple solution such as '''Allegations of state terrorism by the United States -> Allegations of state terrorism practiced by the United States''', thus resolving the semantic problem?
