Then they become good criminals not bad criminals. Actually I don't see any grown up western democracy supporting any insurgency these days. Sure there was the Bay of Pigs, the Contras and the Mujahaddin, but would there be in a post 9/11 world? Are they acting against a democracy or a dictatorship?

...and if you think about it, this question falls outside the realm of military thought. This is one for diplomats, not soldiers, or military theorists.
