"I get pissed when people try and equate how our forefathers fought the British with terrorism, its complete bullshit and has no basis. They got smart and realized they couldn't beat the British at their own game of fucking retarded volleying shots. They were illequipped and not trained as regulars in a alot of cases, so they adapted and found a way to beat them."
Mojo can you honestly say that if a people fought against a ruling power in todays society, that the ruling power would not regard them as terrorists? they sure as hell would not class them as freedom fighters .

Your right that it depends which side of the fence you are sitting on. But by definition and action Terrorism is meant to strike at non-combatants, doesn't mean that guerilla's can't employ "terrorist" tactics. It also doesn't mean that Terrorism can't target defined combatants, but terrorism attempts to disrupt social life throw fear.
