Who don't in fact know yet who in fact are the perp/perps of this act. If the perps were Baath party Saddam loyalists or even plain Iraqi citizens, then you can in fact make a good argument for them as true guerillas. If they're foreigners who came into the country from outside, then it's a real stretch to say that they're not terrorists, as we are not at war with all Muslims, and they're not defending their own territory or government.

They see the Middle East as their homeland, and the Westerners as invaders. We can say we're not at war with all Muslims, but there are plenty of Muslims who see themselves at war with the U.S.
