As I mentioned in class, I personally dont believe that the differences between terrorist and guerilla fighters lies in the tactics. In fact, most of the tactics are quite similar. Rather, I believe that American foreign policy labels groups either as terrorist or as guerilla fighters, based upon the causes they are seemingly fighting for. Whereas guerilla figheters are fithing agains an oppressive, dictatorial, and militristic regime, in the hopes of establish (at least we would hope), a democracy, terrorist are fighting against democracy. Therefore, I want to reimphasize the relativenss of these labels. Haven't we all heard the phrase, "one man's terrorist, is another man's freedom fighter" -or something ot that effect.
