Mandela is actually a huge terrorist.
By your definition the Patriots who fought the British in the Revolutionary War are terrorists. My definition is different than yours.

Which would not matter, your definition means anyone fighting that force is a terrorist. See why your definition is bad?

I compared nothing. I showed how your definition makes a whole lot of groups that are not, terrorists. It's a bad definition, but it fit your agenda and allowed you to claim people you want to be terrorists as terrorists.

Not mad at all. I'm sitting back on my sofa, laptop on my lap, arm stretched out and typing one finger to you that you don't know what you're talking about. You've been going on and on since Oct 1 that Russia isn't doing anything about ISIS. We're into day 4 or 5 now where CLEARLY ISIS is getting defeated. But you're still yammering about a blog comment from the first day of the campaign. Catch up son, we're almost a week into it. Fact is, your stuck on an opinion that's already a week old and refuse to change your stance because you get little dopamine hits when someone challenges you. Give it up, ISIS has been attacked and your argument is already old news.

This is not my agenda. My agenda is peaceful resolution, which may not have been possible 200 hundred years ago but is today.

Well, this sounds like good news.. at least for now..
Here is the news article:
ISLAMIC STATE (ISIS) is now so fragile that its so-called Caliphate could be wiped out in a matter of HOURS, a top terror expert said today.

Western and more recently Russian airstrikes, chaotic leadership and mass defections have weakened the jihadi group to such an extent that it would be unable to repel even a small invasion force.
A terror analyst told Express.co.uk that the fanatics have vastly exaggerated their military strength and called on Western leaders to launch a co-ordinated fightback which would obliterate the hate group.
Dr Afzal Ashraf said ISIS has become its own worst enemy with its campaign of terror against the West, which has prompted an international backlash...

I'm breathing a bit better now..
The problem is though, that this is going to probably all simply unfortunately continue..at least we have some foresight into the future nonetheless, and as such we might be better able to understand what threats need to be unremorsefully contained..
We have many lessons to learn..

The financial network of ISIS is beyond that of the one Al-Qaida used to have, they are not getting weaker as long as the money flow.
perhaps they are just migrating now with the refugees and leaving the areas and thinning themselves out, it could be a way to recruit more people within the areas where they will be moving in.

Is it? What peaceful resolution has Assad and Putin offered to grant Freedom to the people of Syria?
