I agree. The media gives a very one sided view, just calling them terrorists. <b>Which they are but never really reasons why they are. </b>America just wants a base in the middle east, so they are a kind of threat to other middle eastern countries and of course the oil. I hate the damn government.

 Are you unaware of the definition of a terrorist? A terrorist is someone who primarily uses terror, especially on civilians, in order to scare and pressure a group of people into giving them what they want.  

 AL-Qaeda and various insurgent groups in Iraq are therefore terrorists because they primarily use suicide bombings and car bombs in civilian areas in order to terrorize entire cities of people. They distribute sick, terrible propaganda such as videos of non-muslims being executed with AKs and also videos of people getting their heads sawed off with knives, in order to instill fear in people.  

 As for the quote, yeah i suppose the terrorists see themselves as freedom fighters but who cares? They're still just some fucking terrorists

Kind of like when the American government targeted the citizens of Iraq and attempted to starve them out with illegal sanctions?

If your going for 'bad things America has done to the Iraqi people', I'd probably go the illegal invasion which killed an estimated 650'000 people. Then the hasty withdrawal plans that leave the country and its populence in no better condition than when they entered it, except now its prone to a bloody civil war.

Real freedom fighters are the Farc.

There the good guys for fighting for independence from a clearly american imperialist state.

The fact is most Third world south American nations are the same way.
