    The problem is they *are* insurgents, being as they are an irregular armed
    force that fights a stronger force by sabotage and harassment. Some of the
    people trying to destroy the US efforts have also resorted to terror tactics
    making them terrorists unless you are somehow claiming that car bombs
    outside mosques and buses full of burning schoolchildren are somehow NOT
    terrorism.

    Also many the fighters are foreigners - mostly Iranian and Syrian - not
    Iraqis at all.

    Regards

    Jonathan

    Skipping over your arguments to an important point:

    Can we, at COV, agree to stop using the word "insurgents" or "rebels" or
    "terrorists" to describe the people in Iraq that are fighting the US.

    I mean, clearly they have been living there longer than we have.

    "Iraqi fighters", "Iraqi natives", or "Iraqi defenders" might be
    appropriate, but not "Iraqi insurgents"
