Who are the insurgents?Does it matter who we kill as we bomb to find them?

1. any Iraqi citizen who is fighting the occupation

is compleetly legitimate in my view - only if they are foreigners would I describe them as "terrorists" and even then only sometimes, they may be Iranian citizens for example after having fled Saddam's Iraq - if a person still has family in Iraq I can understand (if not agree with) their decision to fight.

all we're doing is adding to their numbers.

2. The Iraqi Resistance fighters are the same type of folks

as the Americans who would be in the streets fighting to save our country if the US was invaded by a foreign power.

3. insurgents

if we were invaded by a foriegn country and then occupied by them we would be considered insurgents if we resisted the puppet government they installed.

6. Are they followers of al-Zawari

or are they followers of al-Sadr?

Where did the administration prove that the ones killed are followers of either of these men? We call them suspected terrorists and let it go that as we continue to pound towns like Falluja with our bombs.

4. Republicans are more concerned about this girl

Princess had her sign ripped by those scary working people with dirty hands! That's where the outrage is.

5. Insurgents are fathers, brothers and sons who have lost family

members to American bombs. The more Iraqi family members we kill the more insurgents we will create.
