Hawk, question : in your books, which of the following is terrorist in nature as opposed to freedom fighters? IRA.. terrorist (Marxist revolutionaries in the guise of "nationalists").. But Sinn Fein showing some promise of creating a political solution. Basques.. ETA.. Terrorists when they commit bombings against civilian targets. But then again, ETA has evolved from being a nationalist resistance against Franco to a marxist separatist movement.. Basques are definitely a distinct nationality (my Uncle being a native Basque who still spoke the language)... Certainly moreso than the Palestinians.. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). Kashmir/India/Pakistan - Again.. when civilian, and civilian infrastructure are targeted.. Terrorists. And given the Islamo-Fascist beliefs of many of these guerrillas, DEFINITELY terrorists. Palestine/Israel- Attacks against Israeli soldiers (armed) then resistance fighters.. Attacks, and especially suicide bombings against civilian targets, TERRORIST. Additionally, any group calling for the utter destruction of Israel are terrorist. Hawk
