Actually, I think Urbane Guerilla makes a good case for the thought that the US produces terrorists! :lol:

'Freedom fighter' is reserved for individuals who kill and maim for an especially noble purpose (or one that the speaker agrees with), sometimes regardless of their targets. I think rebels, guerillas, and 'freedom fighters' can all be lumped together in the 'insurgent' class. I know that 'terrorist' has been mentioned in the news seperately from insurgent, but that may have been because the speaker wished to use the sub-class label. If insurgent means irregular forces opposed to an established authority, than that would include the founding fathers, and the Texas insurgents who fought at the Alamo. It is a little ironic that both of these groups would meet the current standards of 'enemy combatants' and be eligible for indefinite detention at Guantanamo. This is of course better than the treatment they would have gotten at the hands of some British and Mexican commanders, who advocated summary execution. |
What's happening in Iraq is a class war between the Sunnis and Shiites. We just happen to have enabled it and therefore are in the middle of it. The side we are not on automatically become the insurgents. :cool:

I am here to speak against tyranny. You are here to speak against me. That smart or what? Free adult human beings do not stick up for slavery, oppression, genocide, or the myriad villainies that are part and parcel of non-democratic regimes worldwide. Slavemongers and the slave-minded, however, will jump right in. They want the rest of us as messed up as they are. |
you don't get it UG - you are not speaking out against tyranny - you are speaking in favor of a different form of tyranny. you seem to think that you hold the patent on truth, justice, and the RIGHT way, and anyone who doesn't agree with your wisdom is worthy of ridicule and name calling. in your previous post you talk about people following a system or leader only because they've been browbeaten into submission or otherwise fooled - what do you think you are trying to do here? "my way rules, yer all fools" isn't exactly known for winning the hearts and minds to your way of thought.
and, jeez - your posting style is moving closer and closer to TW's with every post you make - this is frightening. |
