Look it up!Useless to have a thousand different Definitions about something!

So can a Capitalist!

Hardly. You said that ten years ago you stopped being proud to be an American.
jvaski: There was a time when I was that proud to be from USA.....and in the last ten years that changed some when I listened to people's perspectives from other countries in my travels
IOWs, my words are true; "It has no redeeming qualities as far as you are concerned though. Ten years ago it lost them and lost them so bad that you are not proud to be American. "
Unless of course you are proud to be an American and are just not saying you are. Which is it?
jvaski: Besides, I have decided to come live with you in Canada.....where there's free gov medical ......
It's not free. Our taxes are far higher than yours and, we have line ups with many of our people (a past PM included using government funds and transportation) seeking better quality health care in the US.

cherrygc: I was bit confused by these contradictory statementsBut fortunately Mr X4fun made it clearOh Boy!!!
Don't be confused. If you read what I have written then you will understand.
A terrorist conducting a terrorist act seeks to terrorize the civilian populace in order to ferment distrust so that the population loses it's confidence in the government's ability to carry out it's prime mandate which is to protect the tax base.
Terrorists who attack a military target are conducting an act of insurgency. The action is not designed to kil civilians or ferment terrorism but rather score a military goal hence it is not an act of terrorism.
The attack on the KD was a military action designed to push the British out of their Mandate, not terrorize civilians even though civilians died.
I believe what you fail to understand is that the intent of actions and their targets is what defines them. One is to terrorize with civilians as the target and the other is to force action by targeting a military force.
If you look at the statements and the previous statements I made you will understand.

I guess then that is unfair to continue calling terrorist the Iraq resistance, after all they attack military targets

chris27292729: So in the Syrian uprising we have patriotic demonstrators,in one hand,and patriotic supporters of the regime in the other.- Which one of the 2 is more patriotic???
Not for me to decide Chris.
chris27292729: In the Libyan case,we have patriotic rebels in one hand (rebels called by Alberta),and patriotic Qaddafi soldiers,in the other. Am also a patriot too,which one of the 2 examples is worth fighting for,or which side of the 2 examples i must take,to claim, am a REAL patriot??
well, let me know when you decide. All I know is that the rebels are fighting former government forces. As for who is more patriotic, who knows what is in their hearts.

Absolutely correct! Those who attack US forces using what seems to some to be terrorist tactics as in IEDs and the like are using insurgent attacks and, are insurgents.
However, any attacks using terrorist methods and tactics on civiliians is terrorism and those conducting same are terrorists.
I explained this on page 8 and 9.

Terrorism refers to the means adopted in fighting. Setting off a car bomb that kills civilians more than soldiers is completely stupid. The so called 'resistance' in Iraq killed far more of their own people than American soldiers.------ This thread is Archived ------
