When does a resistance fighter become a terrorist?
Firstly, I think you have made an excellent point. Those Iraqis fighting against the US/British forces are certainly in my view Resistance fighters. Even those from outside Iraq could be classed as Resistance fighters because this war as much about conflicts of ideology as about the invasion of a single country. To those who say that killing civilians makes somebody a terrorist, then they have already labelled their own governments as terrorists. And don’t talk about deliberate targeting of civilians because when somebody from the US or British army sends a missile from thousands of miles away into a populated area to kill their enemy they know from the moment that they press that button that there will be civilian casualties. It doesn’t matter how precise the missile is because the 2000lbs of explosives inside that missile is anything but precise. It will simply incinerate anything that gets in its way terrorist or civilian alike. All “terrorists” are defined by the powers in this wor
