[Peace-discuss] Insurgents / freedom fighters

[Karen Medina]

Bob,

We agree that the US was invading the land that belonged to the American 
Indians, just as the US invaded Iraq and Israel occupies Palestinian 
territories... we call them freedom fighters while the heads of the 
government calls them insurgents.
