If the taliban, who were running Afganistan at the time, attacked the twin towers I would see it as an act of war. But they didn't. The US bombing Cambodia was warfare not terrorism, because the two were in a state of war at the time. Japan strking Pearl Harbour was an act of war becuae it was carried out by Japan's armed forces. The IRA were terrorists because they didnt act on behalf of the irish government.

Anyhow Ernie getting back to your hero, was Che a terrorist?

So you [u]would not[/u] have seen it as an act of terrorism then !!!

Che you ask ? ........ no mate, I can't be bother to argue with someone about terrorism, if that person believes that the definition applies not to the "act", but only to the "individuals".

..............unbelievable 😯

Wow, serious ancestry, Barnsleymitch! Stalin was his 'stage name' to give himself more political clout (it roughly translates as 'man of steel') -his original family name was Dzhugashvili and they were from Georgia, funnily enough his sons (given either or both names in 'istory
books) fancied taking his more famous name on as their family name too... Interesting how many Eastern Europeans with less infamous names who settled here also changed or shortened their names (pesumably to sound less 'soviet' or be easily pronounced by locals).

If it was carried out by Afgani armed forces it would NOT have been an act of terrorism, you are correct

Anyhoo who's arguing. I'm simply asking your opinion and I guess if you don't want to give the answer then I know what your answer would be, afterall if you didn't think your hero Che was a terrorist then you'd be mortified by me calling him one wouldn't you...

Have you got any irish republican hero's?
