<What they have actually been doing is killing folks in bunches like bananas for sake of some rubbishy ideology, I say they're terrorists.> I agree. Anybody who does that is a terrorist, absolutely, no exceptions. U.S. soldiers have been killing people in bunches, in the Middle East, and doing it on the orders of fanatics with a rubbish NeoCon ideology. And they have a leader who talks to God, and gets instructions on where the next batch of killing is needed. And that makes them, what? Did you say terrorists? <You can work the moral relativism side of the street all you want, but the fact remains, al Qaeda and Baathists are terrorists and they're promoting tyranny.> Who is being a moral relativist? Who is promoting tyranny? Who is advocating targetted assassinations, concentration camps, no elections in Iraq (or Afghanistan, or Kuwait, or...), military governments? In Iraq, today, it is the Shia clerics who are calling for elections, and the Americans who have banned elections indefinitely. Tell me again, who is championing democracy?
