Freedom fighters aka terrorists just like the Iraqis.


The term 'freedom fighter' depends which side of the fight you're on.

Anyone else find it a bit ironic than an anti-war protest group are called 'warriors'

Warrior, definition:

someone engaged in or experienced in warfare
a brave or experienced soldier or fighter

:facepalm:

They're not. They're the Green Brigade.

Which may be just as warfare-esque.

And as pointed out, they are anti-British Army, not necessarily pacifist.

The Iraq's blow each other up more than they attack the Americans. Care to say how a civil war is a fight for freedom?

warfare to save and protect yourselves vs fighting and killing to exploit other countries.


Your arguement is invalid for WWI and WWII

Exploiting other countries or ridding them of dictatorships for a brighter future, and ridding their land of drug smuggling terrorists?

Sign of a good troll, really.

There is a decent debate behind this, but he's just trolling now.

That happened because the Americans caused a civil war, don't forget that they caught BRitish soldiers trying to plant explosives in a mosque in the south of Iraq.

You can be whatever you want to be, mate.

Til you learn how to write a decent argument and discover what coherency is, I'm not that interested.

I don't need to be any more nationalistic than I already am. Northern Ireland doesn't need Republicans running their mouths off about the 'RA and the British Army, etc. Celtic doesn't need that ****. Celtic Anthony is right in that. Leave the bull**** at the door and sit down and watch the match without poppies, without the 'RA, without Paisley or any of the other symbols we all love/ hate so much.

No the Americans invaded killed Saddam and went to their bases and then fought a war against an insurgency that then turned into a full blown civil war when the insurgents started killing other Muslims. A war that goes on across the middle East between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims

By getting rid of Saddam they caused a civil war, instead of letting the bathists soldiers etc. stay they got rid of them. Thats just like them invading London getting rid of the police/army etc. and then withdrawing, can you imagine chavs/edl/islamists etc. with weapons ofcourse the same thing would happen here.

I'm guessing you don't want to talk about imperialistic Scotland then?

Oh come on, you cant be that naive. All military action and conquest by Britain has always been in self interest. Maybe on a rare occasion this would in the short term be an improvement for the indigenous population, but this does not mean they went around freeing countries.
