There's been sh*t that's happened in Iraq that will never see the light of day in the media or justice systems committed by the Americans that can just as easily be deemed as acts of terrorism. It's funny how when a poor man wearing rags and has watched his son, daughter, wife, brother etc etc being gunned down or blown up, takes up a rusty AK-47 and decides to take the fight back to an army which he views as an invader in his land, and is heavily outmatched and has virtually no chance of what he's up against, yet still decides to fight, is easily labeled as a simple terrorist and nothing more.. I would say raining down death from on high via high tech aircraft that you can't even see coming on densely populated civilian areas killing over 100,000 people as an act of terrorism greater than that seen on 9/11. For people who just want to live their lives in peace, all war is terrorism regardless of whoever is carrying out the act in whatever cause.
Couldn't agree more Emerald - the word terrorism is just used as a slur.
