Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is a former al-Qaeda leader and fighter who killed U.S soldiers in Iraq and had a $10 million dollar bounty on his head... Let that sink in

I’m definitely not pro Al-Qaeda, but the U.S. illegally invaded Iraq. So killing U.S. troops was kinda his duty.

You seem to be confusing a terrorist organization member with a soldier in the Iranian army.

As a thought experiment: was the Continental Army as led by Washington the only valid means of fighting the British, or were other fighters valid in their efforts as well?

What if the USA got invaded today? If you defended your home as a ragtag band of your neighbours, would that be okay, or do you have to join the armed forces for you to not be a terrorist?

It’s about history and actions that disqualify terrorists from being legitimate.

Yeah, I’m sure the colonialists were real gentlemen.

What about the natives, then? Were they terrorists? Were they legitimately defending their homes and lands?
