The word terrorist is just a derogatory word for a non-sponsered armed force. Whether a group iis classed a terrorist is down to the mind of the speaker, nothing more.
So they miss use the word. Simply put. In my opinion an apple might be an orange - but if i call it an orange - I am gonna get flamed. So why is it ok for our government entitie's to call a patriotic group, terrorists? Wouldn't that be classified as slander? Any members of that patriotic group whom are American citizens would prolly be able to sew.

I really don't like thinking of the American Resistance, or the French Resistance as bing terrorists. Even the immediate Iraqies fighting for thier country. They are not terrorist. Weather they win or loose.

The people whom are commiting suicide bombings on their own people, to stop them from getting food, and aid brought from America, are terroists.

One mans terrorist IS another's freedom fighter.
