Terrorists are "freedom fighters". Really. But what you need to understand is that a freedom fighter is to freedom as a fire fighter is to fires.
What if you like fires? You have to understand the culture we're dealing with here. The real problem, as I see it, is that our Iraq offensive has been hijacked by the the Palestinians. That is not a coincidence. They are Iraq's biggest allies, so in order to forestall any move in Iraq they create havoc in Israel. All they have to do to is keep the pot boiling and Saddam Hussein will be safe forever. Unfortunately, the Bush administration fell for it hook, line and sinker. They where supposed to be better than this.
