Road side bombs, or IEDs as the Pentagon describes them, are not suicide attacks.
Sniper attacks upon US and Iraqi forces are not suicide attacks.
RPG attacks upon HumVee's and Bradley's are not suicide attacks.
So called "execution" of (what the insurrgents call) "collaborators" are not suicide attacks.
The list goes on and on.
The point is that not
all "enemy forces" in Iraq are terrorists. And describing them as such is simply incorrect.
