However, simply putting a label on them and not having an honest discussion about why they do what they do, bothers me.
Honesty with out benefit is really stupidity.

Wow, you guys take PC to a whole new level.
You realize to any observer it seems you are defending terrorists who killed thousands of Americans and want to kill them all if possible.
Are all Americans deserving of this?
I am a liberal lefty who despises everything to do with this war and that piece of garbage dult that is our president for some unknown reason....but defending these as said earlier, subhumans, is disgusting.
And those who say they are the same who drop bombs from planes, inferring to american soldiers, there are many reasons why that shows ignorance.
1. These terrorists do this out of idiodic religious reasoning...BY CHOICE.
2. The american soldiers did that out of response to a terrorist attack(al beit in the wrong place...f'n idiot Bush)
3. The american soldiers are given orders, they do not walk off the street and say I want to go kill innocents prior to any warfare.

It's not about political correctness. It's about realizing that these people don't just wake up one morning and decide, "Instead of going to work to support my family, I'm going to strap high-powered explosives to my midriff and kill some innocent bystanders today." By recognizing these people as humans--albeit twisted, severely misguided, wrong humans--we can focus on the problem of why they choose the path they do, and how to correct it so that fewer people die in the future.

I do not disagree with a word you said.

First of all these brave freedom fighters are not terrorests.

They are just patriotic people who are using the resousces available to them to fight injustice and oppression.

They should be admired for standing up against impossibe odds and making a personal and sacrificial statement.
