How many civilians in England were killed by the IRA?
And over what period of their campaign to bomb the mainland? Or another way of making my point, if their intention was to just kill English people, firstly why? Because they were protestant? And secondly why the fuck did they give warnings to the authorities? How many times have al-qaeda warned of a specific bombing? How many IRA terrorists were suicide bombers? How many aircraft were flown into skyscrapers (with no warning)? Were the IRA subject of an 'international war on terror'? They bombed England to directly and indirectly apply political pressure on the government to "give back" NI. Terrorists are scum in all their guises, the point I am trying to make is that al-qaeda are DIFFERENT from the IRA. They have different motivations, different agendas and a different way of ruining peoples lives. Sinn Fein and the IRA wanted to force the UK govt to sit and negotiate with them. Al-qaeda just want us all dead. And of course innocent people are innocent people whatever the nationality or wherever they live, however if they live in the disputed territory and are surrounded by the 'war' then they are more likely to become victims for whatever reason (wrong place wrong time, wrong religion in the wrong area, tit-for-tat, drinking in a catholic/protestant pub, mistaken identity and so on). This is also abhorrent and I do wish you wouldn't accuse me of being an IRA sympathiser or revisionist or something, you couldn't be further from the truth if you tried.

The IRA didn't wany to kill English people in England?!?!?!?!?!?!?....they did a remarkably poor <http://uk.f866.mail.yahoo.com/ym/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] job if they didn't. They bombed England to do what? Some needed town planning? Some inner-city development? Read your history books, preferably those not supplied by Sein Fein! And just for my own personal distinction, are, IN YOUR VIEWS, English people are the only "innocent people" on the planet or do other nationalities not count as innocent? Ah, that's all right then, in your eyes, the IRA didn't want to kill English people, so they are not as bad as those nasty Al-Quaeda scum. Sorry and apologies for getting a little upset.....you're right.... What planet are you on?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Love to hear how you'd defend the numerous bombings in England and I'm not even going to get into the INNOCENTS who died in IRELAND, both North and South, Protestant and Catholic, at their mudering hands....... <http://uk.f866.mail.yahoo.com/ym/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] me!

Northern Ireland was the disputed territory, it was the battlefield as far as the IRA were concerned. The IRA did not bomb the UK mainland to kill English people. They did not want to change the very way of life of people in England. Al-Qaeda do. To reiterate, IRA were c#nts and I had/have no sympathy with them at all, nor do I seek to make light of what they got up to. But their cause was NOT a religious cause, it was a territorial cause. They did not want to wipe all protestants off the face of the earth. Al-Qaeda do. That is all I was saying. Theirs is a whole new level of terrorism, it is totally irrational and cannot be negotiated away. > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 06 November 2007 21:42 > To: Errand Fivefold; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: Luisa; [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [LU] NON LU - 2K Terrorists > > Thank f&ck for that. > > Theres no point dragging on and on with this.
