Subject: RE: BS: More Muslim Intolerance (2)
I'm not comparing armies to terrorists, Martin. I'm talking about people who are not affiliated with any recognized armies, and are operating covertly as terrorists. But when we are funding, training, and giving marching orders to these people, as we did for instance in some Central American countries, we call them "freedom fighters". But they are still terrorists. Just with different affiliations and targets. And anyone who supports the use of these kinds of people by the US government is "tolerating" terrorism, as I suspect you yourself have done/are doing.

In one Central American country where the US was training and funding terrorists, they (the terrorists) were trained to shoot at peasants who were fleeing in the night from the people who were slaughtering them. In the absence of night vision equipment, the terrorists were trained to shoot towards the sound of babies crying. That was being done at the behest of the US government and with its blessing.
