Terrorists have no objection whatsoever to countries that are "free"...nor does anyone else, except certain great powers who resent people who don't meekly follow orders.

He who follows orders that are against his own interests is not free.

Terrorists have objections only to this: anyone that they perceive as threatenting THEIR freedom. The USA practices terrorism, Israel practices terrorism, and Al Queda practices terrorism...all aggressors practice terrorism...all of them for their own specific reasons. They each perceive their FREEDOM as being threatened.   Their freedom to do exactly what they want, where and when they want, that is...which is an immature jerk's definition of "freedom". He means: freedom for ME and my friends but not necessarily for anybody else.

Every aggressive country around seems to rest under the illusion that it is a bastion of freedom, and educates its young people to believe that. It's mere propaganda. Every society is free in some ways, not so free in others.

Terrorists are NOT opposed to freedom. They are opposed to those who happen to be opposed to them over a variety of nasty issues, such as who has the power, who has the money, and who calls the shots.

Killers out of uniform are called "terrorists". Killers in uniform are called "soldiers". To those killed, it doesn't make any difference whatsoever.
