I support the war in Iraq as well as anybody, but; when you invade a country (for whatever purpose), the people who live there aren't "terrorists". I wouldn't call them "freedom fighters", either, because they aren't fighting for freedom. But they are definitely "combatants". We have to stop defining-down this term as much as possible. Pretty soon, everybody with a grudge/disagreement against the government will be a "terrorist".

First off, “WE” did not invade, or conquer Iraq – A coalition of nations liberated the Iraqi people form an evil and oppressive regime.

To call politically motivated violence carried out by subnational groups; actions that threaten the stability and unity of a free people; perpetrated against noncombatant targets (the attack occurred in front of the city's main mosque and civilians were killed and wounded); anything other then acts of terrorism is ludicrous.

The attack occured against combatents/US military.

WE were the one's who bullyed everyone to invade Iraq to find something which has not been found- WMD. Where are they?
