[quote:Citizen17:MV8zOTIzMF8zMzIzNzUwXzM2MDAxNkY1] I just think the semantic spin is ridiculous...you hear that word bandied about these days like people actually know what it means. Most people, I´d imagine, don´t give the rhetoric a second thought, and of course the Iraqi ´insurgents´ don´t really give a toss what they´re called by the propagandists... [/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´.
