I think the DoD definition posted by nerdgirl here does note exclude the possibility of uniformed soldiers or states acting as terrorists.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

Odd... I thought the "if you aren't with us, you're against us" was a *BUSH* line?Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MajorDad 0 #81 June 12, 2008 History has determined who is a terrorist by: 1. Who won 2. Who wrote the history Menachem Begin and Nelson Mandela come to mind. Their foes considered them terrorists in their early careers. Both are remembered by the West as Statesmen. Major Dad CSPA D-579 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a differance betwixt pointing out the bullshit that some of us have done about King George for years now... and those who act like dung beetles and roll it up and revel in it.

base_nz 0 #83 June 13, 2008 QuoteQuote Our freedom fighters wore uniforms, and clearly identified themselves. That's a big difference in military justice terms. I think it is important to see the difference between a guerrilla and a terrorist. All terrorists are guerrilla fighters (no uniform), but not all guerrillas are terrorists (the French Resistance). If the French resistance used any form of intimidation or violence it would make it a terrorist act.... Also all terrorists are not guerilla's....... That would mean that all terrorists are part of small independent groups. You can be a terrorist and be a part of a larger regular force......And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

Using intimidation or violence against the civillian population would. QuoteAlso all terrorists are not guerilla's....... That would mean that all terrorists are part of small independent groups. You can be a terrorist and be a part of a larger regular force. Not sure here. If you are part of a regular force and use incognito tactics does that not make you a guerilla?

Erroll 80 #86 June 13, 2008 Quote Menachem Begin and Nelson Mandela come to mind. Their foes considered them terrorists in their early careers. Both are remembered by the West as Statesmen. The operative words here are 'their early careers'. They were indeed terrorists (by any definition), and were considered as such by the West. However, once their political goals were attained, they changed careers and became the statesmen the West remembers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
