The line between guerilla and terrorist is always blurred.
They are NOT defined by a damn uniform. But in that case, one cannot use the same argument against those the country labels as a terrorist these days.
it IS a matter of perspective.
For instance, we hardly consider our forefathers 'terrorists.'
To the ruling class, the British, they sure as hell were.
And don't say bullshit they only targetted combatants - that is NOT true. They would target anyone - say a Loyalist family - to get their end of the deal if needed. Thats not necessarily their prime target but its ludicrious to say they only target combatants - its not true at all.
Like they say, one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist.
Not to mention that the victors write the history books.
