The revolutionaries killed british soldiers in America. They did not go to england and kill english children.
Why is where they were killed important? If you kill people on your land it's ok, kill them on their land it's not? Then the Allies were 'terrorist' when they entered German territory in WWII? I hardly think so. It's not the who or where, it's the why that is important. Why could the Americans not kill British subjects on English soil? They had no mechanism to get there effectively. I'm sure the Americans would have prefered killing the British on British soil rather than American soil. Your standard of 'definition' leaves something to be desired. -- ____________________________________________________________________ The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion.
