I should stay out of this, but Fred, your starting to argue for arguments
sake...you state the following:
"

Fred, make no mistake about it partner, walking into a restaurant
and blowing up innocent civilians is a lot more than 'unconventional
battle'...it's murder buster...in any language, at any time!
And when our forefathers attacked the red-coats from the bushes,
they were attacking soldiers, not civilians.
Of course, I have no doubt that you'll argue this to some degree of
BS too.....
