I would like to see how many "insurgents" the United States would have if they were ever invaded by someone. Of course then it would be "freedom fighters protecting their homeland" and everyone would be applauded.
The hypocrisy of American democracy is humorous, and this is exactly why so many around the world currently HATES the United States.

In Iraq they are called insurgents because they are fighting against their own freely elected government...not because they are fighting against a "FOREIGN" country. Iraqi's are killing more Iraqi's than they are ayone from a "FOREIGN" country.
