[quote:Daemon:MV8zOTIzMF8zMzIzNzQ2X0M2Nzg4Mjgx] HI all! They are insurgents because calling them terrorists is SO incorrect that it would soon threaten Americans. It started to be recieved as "We call freedom fighters terrorist, you are next...." So they changed the wording. Are we next? Are we? Be safe. Daemon [/quote]
Original Message
If one can admit that the govt. in Iraq is not a freely elected, appointed or approved legitimate govt. body, than these folks who are revolting against said body are really not insurgents...
Why are they called that now?
Just because a decision is made to strip a people of its leader (no matter how bad the leader was) and install a new form of govt. does not make the people railing against the new body ´insurgents´.
