was in control of your country, was patrolling your street and killing innocent civilians, would you become a "terrorist"?

You can call me what the feck you wanted.
If i did not possess aircraft, I would lay roadside bombs. If i did not possess tanks i would use a sniper's rifle. If i did not possess night time vision goggles, i would plant remote control bombs.
Before any of you condemn my actions as those of a 'terrorist', please bear in mind that during WWll Churchill had set up Britain's "Secret Army" to defend the country should the Germans have occupied Britain. The tactics the "secret army" were trained in, were exactly those i mentioned above.
To the Americans, I wish to ask; If your country was invaded by the Soviets, would you have fought any differently?
Even if the invaders were NOT killing civillians, I would still fight them.
In short, I would be prepared to use ANY form of combat/killing to defend my country and fight the invader.
If you want to call me a terrorist, then I would be proud to be one.
ps. In reply to the post warning against DHS, is not protecting your home against burglars the same as protecting your country? Would the DHS look upon you as a terrorist for shooting someone who broke into your home in the dead of night?

Do you mean would I go around killing women and child to scare people? Do you mean I would murder entire families? Do you mean I would bomb markets and kill over 500 people because they are not the same sect of religion that I am? Do you mean that set bombs and mines in street to attack the American and blow them up, no matter how many civilians where in the way? Do you mean I would destroy water lines for my fellow countrymen living in a desert because I do not like who they pray to?
Then no, I would not become a terrorist.
PS
I was in Iraq, we never went around killing civilians. Think of it this way. If the police patrolling the mall near you armed with assault rifles, then they were attack inside the mall by people with machine guns and grenade, how many innocent people do you think would get hurt? Do you think the mall should no longer be protected by the police?

No. It's called a freedom fighter.
Terrorist: Terror-ist
Terror - a feeling of intense fear or dread
ist - suffix meaning specialist in
A specialist in the act of causing fear.
Does this make my math teacher a terrorist cause I and my class are afraid of getting homework? No. Just the same if there is an enemy improperly invading my home I don't consider fighting back terrorism, to me it would be freedom fighting; and yes I would.
Too answer the question you were secretly trying to ask the terrorists and suicide bombers were working hard before we even got there just nobody knew about it because they were ignorant. Id also like ti point out that actual terrorist incidents like Sept. 11 or the assasination of the Israli athlets at the olympics had nothing to do with anyone improperly invading someones home. So no; the suicide bombers and terrorists arent just poor everyday citizens defending their homes.

So do you agree with those insane "militias" in the country? If give the same lame a** excuse.
In reference to Iraq, those people who are killing Iraqi civilians are trying to terrorize them, hence they are terrorists.

If I honestly thought that the force wasnt there to help, and I knew that they were intentionally killing these "innocent" civilians then I would more than likely start fighting them.
However, I am quite sure that individuals such as yourself would more than likely hide, or continue to b i tch and complain while better men fight to protect you.

NO! I would instead become more of a patriot and a revolutionist against a terrorist regime that has taken away my basic rights.

No. I hope I'd have the guts to attack the soldiers. But I would never attack civilians unless I were entirely ruined. And under those circumstance, I would hope I'd just kill myself instead.

Depends on what there were here for.
If there were here to restore order and freedoms, I would help them. Because unlike a lot of Iraqis, we understand those concepts.
If there were here to impose a Saddam style dicatatorship, then I would fight them.
I know your just trolling, but there is my answer.

Yes, I'd like to think that I would have the courage to do that. It's all in your point of view isn't it.
