I'm tired of the word "insurgents".

They are "terrorists". It can't be prettied-up.

Here's hoping all those who are able will keep the cubicle-bound updated. Yesterday was great.

Why should they be branded terrorists?

Surely they are the equivilent to a resistance force?
They are objecting to the continued occupation of their country. Admittedly, if they laid down their arms the elections could go ahead much more smoothly. But, to brand them all as terrorists, when they are clearly not, is wrong IMHO. They are clearly demonstrating as Insurgents and that is what they are.
They are rising in revolt against established authority. This is the dictionary definition. This is what they are doing.
