What makes them terrorists? Hanging out in a warzone, carrying a gun, as Sir Krustin put it, Doesn't sound very terroristy. Most armies tend to do that. What did this Hicks character do against the civilian populace?
Also, what exactly do you mean with "They don't represent a nation or a government"? Foehammer's post makes them sound a bit too organized for civilians. [/QUOTE]What makes him a terrorist ? Let's see...where to begin....the fact that he willingly joined the most brutal and barbaric regime since Stalin and/or Hitler ? The fact that he trained in all sorts of camps together with members of Al Qaeda, Taliban, and god knows what other pieces of crap ? The fact that Osama himself had him running errands ? The fact that he submitted to a group of people who are connected to those bastards in Indonesia who killed dozens of Australian tourists, his own friggin fellow countrymen for crying out loud, in the hotel bombing ?
Nope, doesn't sound very terroristy to me...tell me something, are you
that blind, or is it that you don't
want to see ?
And what i meant with "they don't represent a nation or a government", is that the Taliban was never elected democratically, they simply seized power, and the whole world looked the other way. then they started implementing all sorts of stone age laws, and again the world looked the other way, in disgust perhaps. Then they started to ethnically cleanse the lands of all who didn't think highly of the Taliban, such as artists, docters, and all the usual victims of powermongering retards, and the world kept looking the other way. Then they started to train young muslims to go on suicide missions abroad, and they finally had our attention. But i'm drifting off here, they never represented the Afghan people, they slaughtered and enslaved them, that's not the same as ruling a nation. No other government recognised the Taliban as a legitimate government as far as i know, so there you have it.
