No, it's just another example of ignorance being perpetrated by hatred at it worst!!!
Back in the days of our war of independence, there were no suicide bombings back then... However, we did use tactics as did the British against the Colonials that were considered in those times as guerrilla tactics, and barbaric acts of terror... Nowadays the acts of terror have tended to be more brutal, and horrific than the ones that were considered once acts of terror. Heck, they didn't even have what we call missiles today!!! The French had the audacity to support the Colonials, you know -the first American Citizens who were considered terrorists by the British back then
Any country that was once an oppressed people that one way or another won their independence were once considered by their adversaries terrorists, and some have had the audacity to to call their next adversaries, or enemies terrorists forgetting that they were once considered the same yet, they considered themselves "Freedom Fighters."
I'll give you another example of what the Israelies are doing as we speak that was once done to them... Back in the days of World war II, the Germans surrounded the Warsaw Ghettos with walls so that the Polish Jews could not leave that part of the city and nowadays, they're doing the same exact thing to the Palestinians so, once the terrorists, are now creating more terrorists against themselves through another form of terror...
Btw, if you ever read the book 'Exodus" or even if you saw the movie, you would then know that the British had control of Palestine after WWII, and the Jewish State
of Israel was created through acts of what was back then considered terrorism, and yet they also called themselves "Freedom Fighters" and we as a nation supported them then just as we do now! Go figure - Huh??? Don't get me wrong but, go visit your local library or go online if you wish because, it's all a part of history - not mythology which I'm afraid is sometimes being taught in some schools of thought these days. ;( ;( ;(
The Native American Peoples (They're NOT from INDIA!!!) were also considered to be terrorists even though they were fighting to protect, and keep their own lands... I mean, they were here way before the European settlers arrived ,and yet they were called savages, terrorists??? I wonder how one would react if the same were done to them???
Yeah... I thought so!!! Throughout history, groups of peoples that were once considered terrorists either were eliminated, or won their freedoms only to find themselves later in situations where acts of terrorism were, or are being committed on them... It's a vicious cycle sometimes - sadly to say. :( :( :(
Either way, one has to look at the situations from more than one perspective in order to understand what Joe and myself are attempting to point out to the curious, and somewhat ill informed - No Offense Uphill. :) :) :)
