what do these two stories have in common??

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Insurgents launched multiple attacks on Iraqi police across the dangerous Sunni Triangle today, killing 24 people, including 19 policemen, a day after the major Sunni Muslim political party pulled out of the Jan. 30 elections citing the deteriorating security situation. Also today, a militant group claimed to have executed eight Iraqi employees of the Sandi Group, American security company, saying they had supported the U.S.-led occupation. Twelve policemen died when gunmen attacked a station 12 miles south of Tikrit, Saddam Hussein's hometown, said Arkan Mohammed, a local government official. A car bomb killed five Iraqi National Guardsmen and injured 26 near Baqouba, a town 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, after the paramilitary troops had cordoned off an area in order to disarm a roadside bomb, said Maj. Neal O'Brien.
so we have "insurgents" terrorizing those who occupy their country, those who are expanding an empire to take control of the resources of that country and to subjegate its population. the occupiers are upset because they are not able to defeat the indigenous population... mmmm

<>GAZA (Reuters) - An Israeli drone aircraft fired a missile into a car carrying two Hamas militants in Gaza on Tuesday but both escaped without serious injury, witnesses said. Some passersby suffered minor wounds, they said, in the incident in the city of Khan Younis, a stronghold of militants who often fire mortar bombs and rockets at nearby Jewish settlements. Palestinian security sources said the Hamas men were apparently en route to staging an attack on part of the fortified Gush Katif settlement bloc nearby when they were spotted by a patrolling drone and targeted. There was no immediate Israeli army comment. Israeli Army Radio said the missile was fired at a suspected mortar-launching crews in Khan Younis but no casualties resulted. Israeli tanks and troops have raided Khan Younis repeatedly to kill or capture militants behind constant rocket and mortar salvoes against settlements.
here you have the occupiers using terror tactics against the indigenous population in hopes of forcing them to become subject passive willing participants in their own slaughter. darn those pesky insurgents, if they would just let the occupiers kill them and not try to get away it would all go so much better... sometimes i just don't get it..
