What is right and what is wrong? Your perspective and how you see the world makes up actions. The famous saying "one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter" can be portrayed in two different ways. Depending on which side of the conflict you are on, you will either be seen as a the good guy or the bad guy. To the people you are fighting against, you will be seen as a "terrorist" and anyone trying to liberate you from the enemy will be seen as a hero "freedom fighter". A comparison to this is the conflict between Kosovo and Serbia. The KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army) were the so called "terrorists". The rebel fighters fought Serbian forces trying to prevent the genocides and ethnic cleansing from occuring. By doing so, the KLA was considered to be terrorists. Through out Yugoslav, shown over national television were videos of the genocide of innocent civilians. There were captions in Serbian claiming to eliminate the terrorists and that every Albanian was a terrorist. To the Albanian people of Kosovo the members of the KLA were the freedom fighters trying to save innocent lives. Depending which side of the conflict you were on there are two ways the same picture can be seen. What i saw the Serbian army to be was completely opposite to what a Serbian might have seen it.
