John H
Bigmane123

x2 on John H

[GM54]

im sure according to most muslims, osama bin laden and other terrorist leaders in their heads are "freedom fighters"

[XAU]

I will include Yitzhak Rabin, Gorbachev

[WavyGravy]

Aung San Suu Kyi

x2 - best example in the world today.

If you don't need to name a specific person, you could say the student freedom movement in China (think Tiananmen Square with the statue of the "Goddess of Democracy" and the lone student standing up to the column of tanks). If your teacher is a hippie or treehugger type you could say Greenpeace are environmental revolutionaries. Score some brownie points.

If your assignment doesn't specify that they need to be "good guys" there are always small groups that CALL THEMSLEVES "revolutionaries" in South America such as the FARC in Columbia, or the now defunct Shining Path in Peru. That looney in charge of the LRA in Africa probably considers himself a revolutionary, but he is really just a crazy *******. I guess it depends on what you are defining a revolutionary as - some people would say terrorists such as the Taliban and Al Queda are Freedom Fighters.

She thought the taliban would bring stabilization to the area, so she fueled them through military and financial efforts.

Gee... nobody else you know supports despicable governments or organizations through military or financial support do ya?

Che was a revolutionary.

[Twisted_Psyche]

Che was a revolutionary.

He was a terrorist who murdered thousands of people and helped usher in brutally oppressive regimes all over Latin America. Some hero you have.

[ElBonemeister]

Interesting debate. However, I cannot use him because he isn't "modern" enough.

The Taliban took power in Kabul in September 1996. It was during Bhutto's rule that the Taliban gained prominence in Afghanistan. She, like many leaders at the time, viewed the Taliban as a group that could stabilize Afghanistan and enable trade access to the Central Asian republics, according to author Stephen Coll.He claims that like the United States, her government provided military and financial support for the Taliban, even sending a small unit of the Pakistani army into Afghanistan.

see, this is the problem. to some a person is a freedom fighter or a revolutionary and to others a murderous terrorist.

[Gadsden]
