Actually, they're both quite the same thing.

*sigh* I don't want to turn this into another political debate; you know well enough by now where my views lie on this. I just want to say for once try and view the world from other peoples' perspectives...

to you Saddam is a terrorist... to others Saddam is their president.

to you Bush is your president... to others Bush is a terrorist.

So whats the difference between a terrorist and a president? Perception. They say history is nothing more than the winners' story; it all comes down to perception.

Don't worry... I'm not advocating Saddam is a good man or that terrorists nurture and raise cute innocent adorable puppies in their down-time... I'm just saying there is a reason that people feel the way they do, and maybe you should try and understand them rather than hate them right back.

After all, you know the ol' cliche... nothing quite like fighting fire with fire.

Yeehaw!
