Dining With Terrorists - Death of the Freedom Fighter - Pt 2

In a new series Phil Rees explores the definition of what is a terrorist. In the first episode he asks if, following 9/11 the old adage of one man's terrorists being another's freedom fighter still holds up.

We as humans will inevitably destroy ourselves, i am just waiting for the day the bombs fall on all corners of the world. It's sad that we, even in this new age, cannot come to peaceful resolutions.

I actually feel sorry for the soldiers. These young guys can't figure out why they're not wanted. "They just don't want nothing better I don't guess." Can they fathom that they are not necessarily bringing better?

At the same time, they believe its better to invade another's country than to be invaded later. Do they not even think about how they are being used? Do they know their lives are on the line for a war that is fueled by their very presence?

Iraqi insurgents were secular.

And what reason would these villagers have to help the US?

@00Eregos00 Get this in your little skull, they are not democratic countries! And they would not like to be either! Dumb fuck

@sleepycriminal I consider thinking for a country braver than any fighting, and at least I'm thinking. I was being polite and asking questions. You're welcome to answer but if being asked questions is offending you, don't read. I don't know about conspiracies, but I think these soldiers lack the ability to feel what the people they invade feel. As for fighting for their lives, they've willingly put themselves in danger for a cause they don't fully get. For freedom? terrorism? Watch 7:00 mins on

@QuietRain They are fighting for their countries which is more that can be said for you mouthing off on a youtube video acting like its one big conspiracy, fighting for our lives and for a good cause, you pathetic little child.

[00Eregos00]

"Why are the iraqi insurgents/Taliban considered terrorists and not the US?"

Because they have no legitimate reason to fight. If they want an islamic state, they can participate in the democratic process and vote one in. If they wanted US troops to leave, they can vote to HAVE them leave, as the Iraqis did once their security improved enough to ensure the government wouldn't be overthrown.

@PhreakStep

HAHAHAHAHA. I like how you know how *I* feel more than me.

And that's why we were able to stabilize South Korea?

HAHAHAHAHA. You're a joke. Obviously you just take shit off of the internet and the media and believe it. You probably have never served in the US military yourself. I did and I know our strengths and weaknesses.

@Ctasker5

You are scared of them.

North Koreans were pwning your soldiers in South Korea few months ago and once you heard China was involved you were scared shitless.
