Joe,
Your major problem stems from semantics...today's terrorist could also be
defined as a revolutionary. By your definition, Palestinian's are all
terrorists...I'm certainly not for terrorism, but when a people is
oppressed, terrorism happens...in point of fact, the Irish under British
rule, the America's under British rule, India under British rule, the Middle
East under British rule, South Africa under British rule. So I suppose the
Zulu were terrorists? And the Kurds? And the Minutemen? Saddam Hussein is
not a terrorist. A dictator, yes. An evil man, yes. But he did not wage
the war on innocents outside his own country. He was very efficiently
"changing the mind" of the people Iraq. Genocide? Yes/ So then, call the
war what it is...an attack on a genocidal dictator. But don't call it
terrorism in Iraq and Iran. It just isn't.
