Anybody find a thread older than this one?" Heh-larious!!! Oldest post? That can't be right. Anyway, I appreciate finding this thread and reading the 2003 'directive' above re: the deliberate change in use of the word, even if it's almost 11 years coming. Thank goodness for media and market research!! I LOVE the ways they try and tell us all what to think! [/quote]

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´.
