If you look at the WWII, then you'll find out that the Nazis used to call the Soviet partizans... terrorists and insurgents.
By the way, US used to call the Taliban people the freedomfighters when they fought the Soviet army... But today the same Taliban is called a terrorist organization by the same USA.
See how it works?

turst me, i more than know how it works, but do you?
in·sur·gent (ĭn-sūr'jənt) adj.
1. Rising in revolt against established authority, especially a government.
2. Rebelling against the leadership of a political party.
that is the definition. the Americans are not doing either. they did not rise in revolt against saddam hussein, they OVERTHREW HIM. it wasnt a revolt by the US.
re·volt verb (used without object)
1. to break away from or rise against constituted authority, as by open rebellion; cast off allegiance or subjection to those in authority; rebel; mutiny:re·volt
the US was not under the allegiance nor subject to those in authority in iraq. the IRAQIS would qualify for that.
you know, there is no need to talk down to people (and yes i did it too above to make a point) when debating. being condescending will get you no where
