I bet the British at the time would have disagreed with you. I am certain
they believed the American rebels / freedom fighters were terrorists. Just as they believed that the Israeli freedom fighters were terrorists in 1948. Just as the they believe the IRA are terrorists... Basically, when history finds a band of rebels or oppressed people who fought their way to freedom, they war is called a War of Independence. When they were suppressed, the war is called a rebellion, an uprising, or a failed coup-de-tat... The biggest difference that I can see is that the war for American Independence took place in America. The war for Israeli independence took place in Israel. The war for Irish independence takes place in Ireland. The war for Indian independence took place in India. The modern-day Arab terrorists hide in the corners of Islamic nations like Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan and attack countries like Israel, America, and Spain. Perhaps the agenda of modern-day terrorists is not as clear as the agenda of the Independence fighters who fought for independence and control of their own countries... Or, worse yet, perhaps the AGENDA is pretty clear, but the coutries they are fighting for control of are not... "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in ink.net: "S Green" wrote in message ...

It has always struck me as the ultimate in obnoxiousness to claim that fighting for democracy and the rule of law is somehow morally equivalent to deliberately attacking non-combatants in an attempt to impose totalitarian rule. |

I wasn't talking about morals. I was talking about reality and history. If
the Arab nations who sponsor these terrorists succeed in their plans, their own history books will write it off as the Great War for Islamic Independence during which their freedom fighters performed attack after attack until the Imperialist Oppressors were finally conquered. If we sit back and wait for it to happen, we will be written off in history as the once great, but now fallen American Imperialist Empire. "C J Campbell" wrote in : "Judah" wrote in message ...

In the eyes of Radical Islamists? Are you kidding?
Israel - it exists UK - it gave the land to Israel America - it supported Israel Spain - it supported America and the list goes on. Remember - the history books I am talking about were (or will have been) written in the new Arabic Empire... "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in ink.net: "Judah" wrote in message ...
