Quote:Here's a simple definition. Military targets generally involve weakening the enemy's capabilities. Terrorism is aimed at spreading fear and intimidation by violence. The British and Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan don't deliberately target civilians, whereas your 'freedom-fighter' heros celebrate blowing up kids.
Spreading fear and intimidation is also about weakening the enemies capabilities. It is the principle of modern warfare. You ahve heard of shock and Awe havent you. that is about spreading fear and intimidation. Was the bombing of Dresden designed to reduce Germany's military capabilities or was it to spread Fear and Intimidation to the whole of the German population.
In any war people regret the killing of innocent civillians. The IRA never celebrated killing Kids. They made mistakes strategically and practically and acknowlegded it. Unlike the British who have killed a million more kids than Irish Republicans ever had. Except to you they dont count because they were all wogs, mussies or fuzzie wuzzies.
Quote:I can only assume from the above that you were happy with 9/11, 7/7, Enniskillen, Pan-Am 103, Warrington, etc? You 'have no problem' with those acts? That's your f*cked up moral compass
.
i try understand them. That is where you fall down. You think a bit of condemnation will solve everything. Understanding why these things happen is more likely to lead to a solution to those problems.You again sound like a Sun editorial , criminal acts, mindless barbarism blah blah blah. Nothing intelligent just some ignoramnt emotional rant. Maybe you are a taxi driver and just think based on blind prejudices. Maybe you are too stupid to have a moral compass
Quote:You make no differentiation between acts yet you accept some were legitimate and some were not yet you accept the good with the bad? Make your mind up. You sound confused. I'm not sure you know what you accept, you just know you feel cool supporting freedom fighters
.
No i accept that in any war some acts are more regrettable than others but i have to accept that if you choose a side in a war or in a conflict actions will happen which impact on the innocent. You cannot pick and choose which ones you feel comforatble with.
If you support the troops in Iraq and the war in Iraq then you have to accept some reponsibility for the outcome in Iraq. You cannot say i like the removal of Hussein, i support the killing of his troops i support the giving of power to the Shias and then say, ooh i dont like the killing of the civillians today, or i dont like those radical shias i only like the nice friendly ones. You choose your side and have to accept the good and the bad. That is not confused that is accepting responsibility.
Except you are too weasley to accept that. What do you do read the paers and the military briefings and then decide which bits you are hapy with and which bits you are not
Quote:'Support' is a strange word to use. Loughall was a well executed operation to destroy an IRA team and I have no sympathy for the IRA dead whatsoever. If you choose to carry out attacks with guns and explosives you can't complain. But I deplore the fact 2 civilians were caught up in the act
ion.
But was it a Law and order issue in which case shoot to kill without warnings was illegal or was it just a spectacularly successful military engagement. No complaints from me or the Republican movement just pointing out the inconsistency in British propaganda. Would you accept that warrenpoint was a well executed operation to destroy a para company.
Quote:Bloody Sunday was a terrible event. Simple. But I don't buy the paddy propaganda that everyone present that day was 100% innocent and no threats were directed at the Paras
.
Whereas you just believe British propaganda.
Quote:Nah, you just remind me of the daft ones in the film.
Rubber dinghy rapids bro.
Are these the daft ones who were based on the 7/11 bombers. Yes you really did not understand that film at all.
Quote:What? What on earth are you waffling on about? I'm a 'real limey', then I'm a 'plastic limey'? Make your bleedin' pathetic plastic paddy mind up

A real Limey by Birth and a Plastic Limey by actions You plastic Limey.
