General Aladeen sums up America perfectly.
Why are you guys so anti-dictators? Imagine if America was a dictatorship. You could let 1% of the people have all the nation's wealth. You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes. And bailing them out when they gamble and lose. You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education. Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family. You could wiretap phones. You could torture foreign prisoners. You could have rigged elections. You could lie about why you go to war. You could fill your prisons with one particular racial group, and no one would complain. You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests. --- "I'm an atheist too but still believe in hell.

So when a poster says the US is a terrorist organization, the topic is very quickly modded. But when someone else of authority is quoted as saying that, the mods are perfectly fine with it. Im not sure if thats fair?

He exaggerates, but the drone campaign and the way it has been conducted has made us look pretty bad. Still though, he ignores the atrocities committed by other regimes and terrorist groups by saying we are the worst in the world.

I don't hate Chomsky, mind you. After all, he did give us this quote back in 2010:
The United States is extremely lucky that no honest, charismatic figure has arisen. Every charismatic figure is such an obvious crook that he destroys himself, like McCarthy or Nixon or the evangelist preachers. If somebody comes along who is charismatic and honest this country is in real trouble because of the frustration, disillusionment, the justified anger and the absence of any coherent response. What are people supposed to think if someone says I have got an answer, we have an enemy? There it was the Jews. Here it will be the illegal immigrants and the blacks. We will be told that white males are a persecuted minority. We will be told we have to defend ourselves and the honor of the nation. Military force will be exalted. People will be beaten up. This could become an overwhelming force. And if it happens it will be more dangerous than Germany. The United States is the world power. Germany was powerful but had more powerful antagonists. I dont think all this is very far away. If the polls are accurate it is not the Republicans but the right-wing Republicans, the crazed Republicans, who will sweep the next election. --- ...

Article is from 2015, coulda mentioned that in the first post. But all that detail does is buttress the claim. The US, under Bush and then under Obama (and surely now under Trump), has killed hundreds (and far more likely thousands) of civilians, from populations with little to no power to speak out about it, in pursuit of killing terrorists. And if killing civilians via drone strikes on "suspected militants" doesn't qualify as terrorism, not much else should.
