I'm just curious as to why you consider the Iraqi fighters terrorist's whereas the US soldiers are good men and women? The question has come up before and most likely will come up again unanswered or answered one-sidedly.
Hypothetically speaking, lets say it was the Iraqis that invaded our country because they felt Bush needs to be taken out of power. If the Americans would retaliate and fight back because they felt that their country was wrongfully invaded, would that make them terrorist and the Iraqis good men and women?
I feel that there is a double standard in this situation and that the term "terrorist" is used too loosely. Surely the very few that behead contractors and whatnot can be considered terrorist's, but again, those are few and far in between. I believe most are fighting because they feel that their country as well as religion is not the business of the Americans to worry about, and rightfully so, they will fight for their beliefs. I do not believe that should qualify them as terrorists. I could very easily label the American soldiers as terrorists for the same reason you consider the Iraqi fighters terrorist.
If you feel the need to classify a group of people as terrorists, at least do so fairly.
