[southernleftylady]

I just said this to a rightie and she said "dont tell me you really believe thatthat the men who fly into buildings or behead our guys are freedomfighters "
and this is what i said
"Yes I really think that... and YES i do believe that there is a diffrence in people who fly into buildings and people who behead other....
I am talking about the Iraqis (not the saudis who flew into buildings) people.... the citizens of Iraq who have been bombed... whose lives have been TORN apart! Those are the freedom fighters I am talking about...the people who are scared to death that they willl be the one that the bombs kill next.. who is just scared and are fighting "back" to try to keep what they have...
But look at what i said "one persons terrorist is another freedom fighter"
look at it a a whole world wide , all through out history, standpoint....

2. Hey, watch out with that kind of talk -- you sound like an enemy combatant

j/k, but this is basically the threat for people who choose to think freely or critically about what we're being fed at present.

It is, admittedly, hard to distinguish between the actions of terrorists and the actions of our government in Iraq, especially when relying on the dictionary definition of the term.

3. If those morans saw "Red Dawn" they may understand why...

the Iraqis are resisting. The movie is simple to understand even for their intelligence level.

But since the * worshippers are pea-brained morans they may not notice an immediate similarity.

Red Dawn is a favorite movie of the gunnuts and I've seen them discussing it on numerous occasions.
