Partly I have to side with Russ. Every army, when in war, kills it's

own

share of civilians.

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?

I don't count it when foreign forces have invaded your country (Maquis,

Fretilin

etc....).. buy yeah ..sure.. otherwise you can justify anything to be

terrorist

or not.

So - to pin you down on this exactly - if what you're fighting 'against' is a foreign power which has invaded (and colonised, in some cases) your country, then it's OK (can you see where I'm leading with this yet)?
