A terrorist is a freedom fighter who isn't on your side.
- cema 14y agoNo, not really. This is a cheap excuse for not looking at the facts.
- AsylumWarden 14y agoHmmm... maybe more of an "opinion" fighter? I guess the terrorist him/her-self might consider themselves freedom fighters fighting for the freedom to do things their way but the other side obviously doesn't share their "opinion". Just my two cents.
- GFKjunior 14y agoI have to agree. Part of my family was exiled from Spain for being heavily involved in the ETA, the spanish consider us terrorists for blowing up cars and refusing to speak spanish. In Mexico another part of my family lost many, many young men during the Mexican Revolution. We still have pictures of ancestors standing side by side with Pancho Villa and call them heroes like the rest of the nation does. The winners write the history books as they say.
- tkahn6 14y agoAccording to Wikipedia, there were civilians in those cars the ETA blew up. So yes... the ETA is definitely a terrorist organization.
- cema 14y agoYou were not a terrorist because you did not participate in the terrorist activities, and refusing to speak Spanish is not a terrorist action (and should not be a criminal offense anyway, just complicates life). Exiling the whole family of a terrorist may be too harsh, depending on the circumstances. But the people who were blowing up civilian cars, buses and trains were terrorists, by the definition, whether you agree with their actions or not.
