""Fighters" don't kill women and children."

"The U.S. in Serbia? Iraq? Sudan? Wace? Rudy Ridge? what are you talking about?"

Let's see some rules now. #1 Terrorism is when someone kills people with a bomb using a car or his back. People killed are called "innocent civilians". If you have an airforce or wear a uniform it can't be called a terrorism and people who get killed are called 'collateral damage'.

#2 Exception to above rule. The Jewish people tried for 2000 years to get their land back. Now the Irish want their land back too. Both, in the past, used bombs to get the British to leave. Only the IRA used terrorism.

When you on purposely TARGET innocent Women and Children and non-combatants, you are a TERRORIST!!

Targeting a military facility and accidentally kill civilians around that target, it is indeed called Collateral damage. What are you going to do, announce to your enemy that you are going to strile thier communications headquarters at such and such a time and they had better make sure there are no civilians in the area?
