So everyone : if you are fighting the bad guys, you are a resistance fighter. If you are fighting the good guys, yu are terrorist. Got it ?
SS Assault Troops Capture Two Jewish Resistance Fighters
SS assault troops capture two Jewish resistance fighters pulled from a
bunker during the suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The original
German caption reads alternately: "Pulled from a bunker" or "Bandits."

nobelprize4peace: Look deeper. The Germans wanted Lebensraum - to make Poland and beyond a part of larger Germany with the indigenous people serving the Reich. The US wants Iraq to get its act together, stop killing one another, govern itself in peace whether as a democracy or not, and for the US to get the hell out. Most Iraqis want the same, despite what the Western media choose to portray. Look at al Anbar, the huge western Sunni province. The tribal leaders have decided to unify and fight the al Qaeda forces. It's working. Big problem is the shia Sadr faction. Rule or ruin. They want total power and figure they have Iran backing them.
It was unwise of the US to stir the pot in Iraq because of the sunni/shia split. It was, in my opinion, really because the Middle East was becoming vulnerable to the growing presence of al Qaeda throughout the region (except for Iran). There was growing danger that al Qaeda elements would overthrow the Saudi Arabia monarchy and throw the world into panic reaction because of oil. There are still many powerful members of the royal family who discretely support al Qaeda. However, much of al Qaeda has been rooted out and destroyed in Saudi Arabia.
The radicals feel in their souls that all opponents must be eliminated and that a fundamentalist Caliphate must be established throughout muslim lands and beyond. Like it or not, that is what has been going on in the Middle East for decades. The terrible irony is that petrodollars from the West and the East are fueling this movement.

Hi syzygy4,
And thank you for following my clips like that. You could have also popped it
Anyway, this comment is a bit off topic I think. This picture and the caption show how you will be labelled a terrorist by one side, and a resistant by the other. It is therefore universal. It's not any more about Iraq than about any other liberation struggle.
