skydiver51 0 #26 January 31, 2007 Why stop with americans involved in Ireland. Why did the US have to go to Vietnam and pull The Frenchs ass out of a jamb? Why do Countries go into other countries and impose their rule and start wars and kill innocent lives? Before smart bombs, many innocent lives,some even intenally. Who starts them and who gets killed is part of war. Find another way to settle differences and save lives! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyrad 0 #27 January 31, 2007 Quote The thing I don't get about torrirests? Why do they always insist on making innocent victims? I mean...why not put some effort (or better yet: sense) into the last thing you do (literally...). Is it really so much harder to make a kill that actually makes (a little) sense, than to bomb a bunch of clueless people eating icecream? Ex. Mcveigh. Why does he choose to bomb a building full of women and children who have fuck all to do with the actual goverment? Ex. Columbine. Why didn't they target the kids who actually picked on them? Ex. Bush administration. Why does it condone torture/murder of (obviously) innocent people? I understand, that desperate people do desperate things. Let's face it...if someone killed my entire family I wouldn't really care if I had to die as well. But why opt for innocent people, instead of those directly "responsible"? Food for thought...

Two, terrorize all opposition and control the region. Car bombing does both. As John Le Carre once wrote in a novel, "the reason that we use cars to deliver 500 lb bombs is because no one gives us fighter jets". Using the tools at hand. Arafat blew up enough stuff and de-stabilized the environment to the point that politicians had to deal with him. In Ireland, the same result. Winners write the history books.

With the Ireland situation the Government went to the table again not because of the number of dead (Over three thousand) but because of three huge truck bombs which caused hundreds of millions of pounds worth of damage and tore the financial districts of London and Manchester to bits.
