Yes I would call the rebel terrorists brave, but they are on the wrong side.
The wrong side? In what respect?
I'm also interested in how they earn the 'terrorist' tag. If they were on the 'right side' in your opinion then would they graduate to 'freedom fighter', even though they aren't acting any differently? How does this labelling system work?

The Syrian opposition could be seen to be fighting for their own freedom couldn't they? Have you considered that the majority Sunni community in Syria may resent the fact that their government and security apparatus is dominated by an Alawite minority which does represent them?

Wrong side.
Most of these rebel fighters are also from the Libyan conflict.

No if your supporting the Syrian opposition, your basically supporting the Saudis king family whom if i may add are Sunni.
I think we should do that to all Israelis and Americans considering how dangerous their terrorist regime is.

We could shut off the taps.
That might give everyone pause.

Truth colors.When is speaking the truth anything negative to be looked at. The afghans were also brave when fighting the Russians when they invaded.
Oh you just don't like it when the afghans are called brave when its only America they are fighting. Gotcha
Plus discuss it over in the other thread not this one.
We are talking about Syria massacre and consequences of interference.edit on 053030p://6America/ChicagoThu, 07 Jun 2012 17:06:59 -0500 by THE_PROFESSIONAL because: (no reason given)
You brought it up....Now I have to stop talking about it?
Its safe to say you believe they are brave fighters,when facing US troops...You didnt bring up the other aspect of it,ONCE..........Your words,not mine. Covering tracks,changing stances,as not to be called out on it?
I dont have to tell you MANY in the US don't see it that way. I would almost have to say,only those that are against the US government feel that way........Care to wager that's what the DOD or CIA sees it?

Why do I have to bring up all aspects of it? The Brave Afghans are currently fighting the cowardly US forces.

Fairly sure it would be US army protocol to surrender and run away if their enemy had 100x stronger firepower and 1000x more troops.
Clearly they are brave if they can still put up a fight against that.
Hahaha wouldnt have anything to do with being bombed constantly for the last few decades would it? Or maybe our financial system which causes millions of them to starve to death? Or the sanctions that cause millions to starve to death?

It might be if there was something they were actually fighting for. They are fighting to fight, and being encouraged to do so by their educated/monied/religious class so that those people can keep them as pet idiots.
They aren't fighting for anything. You get that don't you? They are just fighting because they want something to do.
I agree they are not cowardly. But what makes them brave?

NATO will make a bigger massacre and whoever is installed after Assad will be worse; there is a track record of such things. Wonder why we haven't heard about Libya anymore? It used to be in the news 24-7 but once their agenda was complete it stopped playing.
