Perhaps next year. Interesting to note, the Iraqi leadership doesn't
consider killing American soldiers terrorism, but a "legitimate right" of

"The final communique, hammered out at the end of three days of
negotiations at a preparatory reconciliation conference under the auspices
of the Arab League, condemned terrorism, but was a clear acknowledgment of
the Sunni position that insurgents should not be labeled as terrorists if
their operations do not target innocent civilians or institutions designed
to provide for the welfare of Iraqi citizens. "
I agree. But the ones using car bombs to indiscriminately kill and
terrorize the civilian population, or destroy institutions designed to
provide for the welfare of those citizens, are absolutely "terrorists".
In other words, almost all of the IED attacks are being done by terrorists.
