I classify freedom fighters as terrorists. I'm sorry, but i just do. I sort of understand what the IRA were fighting for, but my morals restrict me from agreeing with their fight.
Very simple explanation cowboy. A load of guys arrive in your country and announce 'this place is now part of Russia,get the **** out of your houses and off your land because we now own it. If those people fought back would they be terrorists or freedom fighters?
Terrorists. If they're fighting against the establishment, that makes them terrorists, even if the establishment is treating them like ****. Look at libya, whilst i loathe Gaddafi, there are easier ways to reform a country.
