I see we have a long history of supporting Barbarians; but this New anti Terrorist policy makes it hard to sort out what we support and what we don't support.

Like the Taliban or the Moujahadien
Even Libia is on the Barbary Coast. Remember Pan Am thought they crossed the line between terror and Barbary.

well a barbaric tribesman such as the Gauls would be in a tribe and act as a group in there OWN territory attacking invaders and such like or they would pillage neigouring areas for gain...
A terrorist is more like a parasite that somtimes lives within your own community or comes from places that have opposite political views and tries to bring to the attention and notice of the media his cause or beliefs by killing the innocent in a cowardly act such as a bombing of a shopping centre causing terror and disruption to a society..
Hope that helps!

It's an old question, but it used to be "What's the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter?". The difference is a person's point of view.

Terrorists have things that barbarians dont such as bombs and napalm, while your average everyday barbarian might come at you with a club, or a ball on a chain with spikes...not so much terifying if you ask me.

common. whilst they are scuffling with for the liberty of their human beings which many concept the Afghans doing in Afghanistan yet having gained the rustic, they grew to become the rustic right into a genocidal penitentiary camp lots worse the Russian puppet regime ever grew to become into. They went from freedom combat to terrorist. additionally, freedom combatants combat they don't kill women folk and babies and desire to win via horror. the yankee revolution grew to become into not approximately killing the households of persons, they have been approximately pushing the British out of the colonies. Clearlyfreedom combatants can inflict injury on modern-day armies yet terrorists elect extremely to explode college buses and ladies interior the industry to purchase food for their fafamilies you do not see that and have come to settle for that killing of noncombatants is okay and in certainty you intend to make it look noble and brave. Seven 12 months outdated little ones on college buses are actually not lots of a risk on your "terrorist/freedom fighter" and adult men on their thank you to their jobs are actually not armed so as that they are common objectives. Thats the adaptation. once you're saying jap u . s . you propose Boston and the Irish community, thats not united states of america of america or individuals those are people who're in simple terms hiding out someplace else cuz its risk-free. no person ever called the Viet Cong terrorists, they werefightingg of their u . s . against a much off places military. Blowing up place of work homes or hotels and focused on unarmed people who have not any particular dedication to something is in simple terms cowardly habit.

that's the whole point. Terrorist is so ambiguous that it can apply to almost anyone. That makes it easier for the Admin to keep America in the grip of fear and makes it easier to sway the masses. Propaganda, the greatest tool in our fight against global terrorism.

lol ummm well politically speaking a terrorist is omeone who despises this country and does not care for his own life. a barbaric tribesman is someone who does not care for his own life because he loves where he is from. To us its the same exact thing because they are both uncivilezed people with no regard for others.

The primary difference is the uniform. When the united states kills women and children, (well first it's because the enemy is using them as a human shield) they wear a uniform with the American flag sewn on the sleeve. When terrorist kill, we cannot distinguish them from the civillians. (since we don't target civillians)
When tribesmen go into battle, they wear their tribe's colours.
