    If their goal is to win freedom from Western oppression, then they'd be freedom fighters.

    If their goal is to take down infidels and turn themselves into glorious martyrs, then they'd be kooky terrorists.

    Freedom fighters attack occupying armies like the French Underground fighting the Germans in WWII. Anyone targeting innocent women, childern and their own civilians are nothing short of barbarians. The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist.

    depends on who you are talking about.

    I would venture to guess that at this point not too many are freedom fighters, the freedom fighters were given control of their areas, but now fight amoungst themselves with occasional clashes with coalition troops, while the terrorist continue to attack civilians and Coalition forces indescriminately.

    Source(s): nathan has a disconnect with reality. to think they are only fighting a superior military power and die in mass for a religious and fanatical cause is pure propaganda.

    If let's say Russians invaded America, and for that matter, on a false pretext, too, what would you call yourself and I imagine the majority of Americans who see them as occupiers?!

    freedom combatants ended while they have been given the gaza strip administration. then they only became elementary terrorists the place adolescents have been given $500 paid to their relatives while they blew themselves up on a crowded bus in Israel.

    We already gave them their freedom. They are uncivilized, misinformed terrorists.

    Actually they are mostly just attacking Iraqi civilians, and if you even need to ask this question it just demonstrates your severe disconnect with reality...
