42. There are different groups in Iraq, who may attack for different reasons.
They may all see themselves as freedom fighters; some might be reasonably described that way. Others are fighters for an intolerant theocracy. Some are likely fighting for a return to the corrupt Saddam government. That the U.S. is the invading/occupying power does not mean that all who fight agaisnt it are freedom fighters. Insofar as they uniquely target military targets, however, they are not terrorists.
