As stated, most are members of terrorist groups, as shown by their multiple violations of the laws of war.

But it would be possible for a legitimate Iraqi militia to form in opposition to the American occupation, and fight us using IED’s (not much different from mines, really) and suicide bombers, as well as openly. Not that they’d last very long. :)

It’s the target, not the tactics, that makes a terrorist.

[The Blitherer]

Ah, thank you, that makes sense.

The military is a group, and the members of the military are individuals. Perpetrating terror whether your aligned with a government or organization or just as an individual makes you a terrorist. Our politicians that voted to remove troops from Iraq and, don't forget, Afganistan, will eventualy be known as political terrorists for the murder they will bring to the Iraqi people when coaltion forces leave Iraq and the vacuumn is filled with Iran and Syria, the mass murder will be directly linked to those people who drew our forces out of Iraq before Iraq could defend themselves. Further they will be singly responsible for the radical islamists that follow US troops back to the US and start butchering here. Your being told early, so when it happens, try not to point at yourself, its too "Uncivilized", its easier to point at the senators, the congressmen, and their lobbies with no backbone. Oh, they will flee America IMO, because they are cowards now, and they will be cowards then...
