It was actually a pet peve of mine that they called them "insurgents" for a long time. I'm glad they finally started calling them what they are: terrorists.

The guys that kidnap people and cut off their heads are terrorists, yes.
But the guys that set up the IRD's and ambush military convoys, how is that terrorism?
Are these not the same people? They are doing a lot more than this. They are killing innocent Iraqi citizens and blowing up bombs in peaceful cities to try and prevent this new free government from succeeding. They desire 3 things: power, umpteen virgins, and the destruction of the US and her allies.
Were they representing some sort of national power or alliance, they would probably be called something else, but since they try to advance their own power and ideology by any violent means available, they are called terrorists.
Oh, by the way, I'm sure you're about to call me all manner of unpleasant, anti-American names.
No, but for the life of me I cannot understand why you want to believe these terrorists are the good guys.
What's happening in Iraq is soldier-vs.-soldier.
Tell that to the >100 innocent Iraqi civilians that have been killed by these 'insurgents' in the last week.
Only someone blinded by their own jingosim would dare refer to that as "terrorism."
Neither one of us is blind, and that is what really disturbs me. You seem to have good intentions, but the conclusions you've come to are so evil, I just can't comprehend it.
