You'd have to define terrorism...
terrorism has a definition you know. Depending who you ask it may vary a little bit but a general working definition
"the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear"
To answer the question no the US does not unless they do the above without my knowledge. To my knowledge they don't target civilians to instill fear. They might I just don't read up on what the US does anymore.
As to if they are worse, well not really sure the USA can pull some dick moves but at the end of the day the world needs its bully boy or there would be far less order in the world.

No animal shall kill any other animal.

We?.... No..... Our Gov't in Collusion with Multinational business?... Perhaps.... it all depends on perspective I guess...
How many of us would be upset if the people who we call "Terrosists" today were to enact their vengeance upon corperate CEO's, Litigators and, Legislators who just might be the reason they have their world view?

For example, Czech Republic is economically and politically a terrible place full of untouchable thieves who rob blind their own people and generations to come, for personal profit. If Czech politicians would rule Earth, they would ransack it and sell what remains to Martians and Venusians for raw material. But they don't, this local shit pit doesn't spread abroad, at most it only attracts vultures and hyenas. (foreign investors) This is something that America isn't good at, I mean staying within it's own state borders.

I would say that the nature of warfare and confilict is that the dirtiest meanest SOBs are going to win. Warfare is inevitable as long as we have population growth unrestrained by rational controls. We live on a small planet with limited resouses, so we must fight for control until we can all agree to limit family sizes. So our tribe must instill more terror if we want to win.
Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. --Mark Skousen
You'd have to be a bit more specific, even, than that.
For example:
A large part of it also depends on whether you consider the two particular packages we delivered to Japan towards the end of WWII to be terrorism.
The U.S. has skirted the line quite a bit, so a *very* exact definition would be required- including more specifics as to context.
Yeah the problem is there is no universal defination, use what you got. But from what I know a state cannot perform terrorism as it holds the legitimate use of force/violence. If a state were to fly a plane into a building it wouldn't be terrorism but rather an act of war. Well thats about all i can remember from my semester doing international relations.

Exactly, but as the question wasn't posed by me, I wanted to use the definition of the original poster.
Basically, I was just saying that the uncertainty in the definition itself is so great that, depending on that used, the answer could range to either extreme- not in so many words.
After all, I like to think of anti-vaxers as terrorists- given that they use terror and mass hysteria for coercion instead of legitimate means of discourse or evidence. I don't know that I would consider acts of war to be terrorism.
It's pretty much just an emotionally charged word that has become functionally useless due to lacking in discrete and agreed upon meaning.

I agree with the above poster, if you look at the US expansionist adventures around the world you'll realize we are stressing over a propaganda term. "At present, the International community has been unable to formulate a universally agreed, legally binding, criminal law definition of terrorism." Much like the Terror alert colors, coalition of the willing, axis of evil..etc. These are all propaganda terms that are used when the media finds it convenient. If you want to say does the US do things equally as terrible as the Taliban and Hezbollah my answer would be clearly yes. They do it under a different guise and perhaps more covertly but yes the US is directly responsible for "acts of terror" as I would imagine every economic power in the world is including China and the UK.
Well,there has never been a State that overthrows governments like the good old USA.Another good read is John Perkins book "The Secret History of the American Empire -
