While I can agree with you to a point, I don't think that it is correct to call the coalition forces terrorists... they are invaders or an occupying force but they can hardly be seen as terrorists as long as they continue to be in uniform and act as openly as they have been.
That said, as an occupying force they are terrifying.
As for the Iraqis opposition... I am not convinced they are all acting as one. I believe there are some who are clearly insurgents, upset that their nation has been invaded by an opposing force. *Some* of those insurgents have resorted to terrorist activities to achieve their goals.
My question for those who oppose seeing the opposing Iraqis as insurgents... if they spared the lives of civilians would that make them less terrorists in your eyes OR would it make a difference?
Does it make a difference to you that the coalition forces have killed civilians in their efforts or are they *just* collateral damage in your eyes.
To me these are questions not easily answered. But then I don't see things in black and white, good vs. evil, etc.
