My point, in a little elaboration, was that the US military is losing ground to the resistance (those groups primarily concerned with fighting the occupation), which is just as much a driving force to the occupation's eventual defeat as the sectarian violence.
We are losing ground to clearly ignorant Muslims and Arabs that think a “Western suit wearing” person is in proper military uniform. The very support for terrorism, which you call “resistance,” is where the moral failing lies among IGNORANT Muslims and Arabs. The use of civilian disguise to facilitate warfare, your kind of legal “resistance,” puts all civilians to the question of their status as belligerents and can only result in the kind of violence we see against civilians in Iraq.
You cannot distinguish between a terrorist, a criminal, and the lawful police and military (there is no Civil War Blue and Gray here) using your definition of terrorism:
“The most obvious and undisputed defenition of Terrorism is: the act violence intended to terrorize its victim.” (Jenin,

“My comrades, terror is terror is crime is violence is conventional is nonconventional is state terror is group terror is individual terror. terror is terror.” (Jenin, ibid)
“If we are to continue to ignore terrorism committed by the 'western suit wearing civilizations' and stereo type it to be a word unanimous with muslims and Arabs…” (Jenin, ibid)
Jenin, how do I know you are not a terrorist? Can I tell by your “Western suit?”
The IGNORANT Muslims and Arabs that support the Palestinian/Hamas Terrorist State are the reasons why there is no peace in the Middle East:
"In his sermon Friday in Kufa, near the holy city of Najaf, Sadr also told followers to fight 'the occupiers.' He urged them to 'strike them where you meet them,' and said he hoped the leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas would accept him as 'their striking arm in Iraq,' The Washington Post and Newsday reported yesterday." (Iraqi cleric hints at violence against US By Anne Barnard, Globe Staff | April 4, 2004)
“March 5, 2003: Bus bombing in Haifa. U.S. citizens killed: Abigail Leitel, 14, who was born in Lebanon, New Hampshire.”
American Victims of Mideast Terrorist Attacks
“The suicide bomber was 20 years old, a student of the Hebron Polytechnic University (from which a large number of suicide bombers have emerged) and a member of the Hamas terrorist organization.”
PROUD OF MY SON: Mahmoud Hamdan Kwasma, the Haifa bomber (Allah predicted 9/11 1400 years ago)
March 13, 2003: “(CBS) Saddam Hussein has distributed $260,000 to 26 families of Palestinians killed in 29 months of fighting with Israel, including a $10,000 check to the family of a Hamas suicide bomber.
Jenin the support for such civilian clothed Hamas “resistance” by clearly IGNORANT Muslims and Arabs is the reason innocent civilians in Iraq are dying in such great numbers. That is the reason you have no peace in the Middle East, just as this Golden Rule is an afterthought to Muslims that only read their Koran:
“Do unto all men as you would wish to have done unto you; and reject for others what you would reject for yourself."
