What utter rubbish. Can you show me anywhere credible, other than in

your

opinion, where terrorist forces are defined as those which only kill X%

or more

of 'civilians' vs combatants..

Tamim
There is no official definition.

paulh
SO what ratio needs to be aspired to for THIS then? Perhaps if the Loyalist Paramilitaries kill more 'combatants'

then you'll

be happy to take them off the list of 'Terrorists'.. What a pathetic excuse to justify terrorism..

Tamim
Partly I have to side with Russ. Every army, when in war, kills it's own share of civilians.

paulh
Usually when wearing a uniform of some sort and belonging to some sort of recognised government. Sneaking around in civilian clothes kinda changes things....

You do realise that your definition includes the American (and French, and Russian, and Irish) revolutionaries, the ANC, the French Maquis, the East Timorese Fretilin and many, many others?
