Terrorism is when they kill civilians in an effort to scare them into submission. Sorry to say that these guys in Iraq are terrorists.

They are blowing up their own people. Terrorists are the scum of the earth. I really hope they have fun rotting in hell for killing innocent people..no one could call killing women and children of your same religion, something that will make you get to heaven.

Thats kind of the reason why I said guerilla warfare. And guerilla Warfare is terrorism in a way as terrorism is to strike fear in someone and guerilla strikes are striking fear in the enemy as they often are (seen as) random attacks at key points, not knowing when they will strike where you are, but you rarley use civilians as targets in guerilla warfare,

[atholon]

sort of...

Guerilla warefare is aimed at destroying enemy targets, not so much striking fear in the enemy.

Terrorists aim at striking fear in the general public. Which at the present is not working.

Guerilla warefare, they didn't blow their own people up.

I am a bush roamer..I might have to head down to Austrailia..and "have a go at" some of those gals...I like playing in the bush more than..well heck..anything! I have never set an ambush..but I have spent a lot of time in and around the bush itself....and when I tire of it..I don't mind sharing it..but not with a foreigner..

They were also insurgants fighting the German controlled country with Guerilla Warfare and Terrorism striking fear in the German Army. Terrorism of the middle east is death of innocents but they do not define the meaning of terrorism.

Yeah from what the definition I see, that is right.

I guess in the modern sense of terrorism defined by Sept11th.

It really has nothing to do with the victims but the goals. I don't think that in 9/11 the attacks were meant to kill a ton of people as much as they were meant to hurt us financially, economically and militarily.

The attacks in Iraq are a different breed...it is sad to see.

to tell the truth , there isnt enough of them to take down us and our allies if they planned a all out land war, we would win by far, but these suprise attacks they win

Scared idiots who couldn't protect their country

Score, that's the one good thing about Texas..well, one of them at least. It is a country and can break off any time it wants. Now that's how it's done

[atholon]

LOL @ Dr. B

Also the victims of 9/11 were just a bonus to the terrorists. Fortunately they didn't create much of an effect over all. I mean the economy is not in the toilet or anything.

I really thought it was awesome how america and the world puilled together.

The Maqui or French Resistance was made up of many politiccal groups who opposed German, (Nazi), occupation of their country, many of them were communist leaning groups who had oppossed the French government before the war.

Some of these groups were made up of people who had fought the Fascist forces led by Franco in the Spanish civil war.

They were successful in aiding downed allied pilots to escape to England via an underground network and carried out sabotage operations throughout the war and more especially on the eve of Operation Overlord, the allied invasion of Western Europe.

That's what I get for taking a history degree lol!!!! Short version of course but there should be many books on this and other world war 2 history in any decent sized library.

i have to agreed the terrorist would kill their own family and Muslim temple if it was some manner of meaning to it they would do it, Muslim think these terrorist wild card are the best thing in the world got a news' flash they would blowup the temple mount if they think it do any good all so. Terrorist have no limit on what they can & can not do.

To all of us that voted and those that think we are crazy, we are not. We are not extremists or radicals. We are men with honor and love for freedom and Democracy that would fight to protect you and your families in a time if dire need and desperation. We are somewhat realists do you guys agree? This thread was intended for last resorts, worse case scenerio and it could happen. As strong as we are, we are our own worst enemy. Don't be fooled by propaganda and don't let media dictate your World perspective. What we've learned, we've learned and we take it in stride.

Trojan respects these men that would fight, he's not alone in a cause greater than himself and these men have meaning and cause and should be respected by their peers alike.

A freedom fighter, yes. Kill woman and childern or using them as a shield, no.

[Trojan]

What about a woman with a rifle? a kid with a grenade? Makes me think of Vietnam movies, stories, written and documented history.
