So bored of hearing this tired drivel. There has been a massive outcry amoungst Muslims around the world against terrorism. Its just that you either deliberatly choose to be blind and deaf to it or that you need a wider reading list. As for the last comment, I'm sure there are many Muslims and Christians who are glad they are not Jewish, thing is if they say it they are accused of being anti semitic.

I used to have a rat snake, when he escaped he made a bee line for a gap in the floorboards and disapeared under the floor boards. Also behind sofas seems to be a favourite. Careful how you move the furniture and check that he hasn;t got inside the sofa. Mine stayed with two other people and escaped twice once with each. On one occasion he dissapeard for several weeks, my friend knew when I he came back by the hysterical screams of her friend who climbed naked into the bath for a shower before looking down When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Hi Erroll, no I seriously doubt that. The Real IRA have been escalating their activity for the last year or two, its more likely that they took this action after they aborted an attack on Ballykinler Army base. At the end of Jan. They abandoned a 300lb VBIED in a village and took off. They also claim that they shot the pizza delivery men for 'collaborating with the British' They're desperate to get back into the news and destroy the peace process and the economy in Northern Ireland. Some people know nothing but violence. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I agree. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

there is a big difference between civilians and non combatants. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

That is more difficult than it would first seem. How do you define civillian? By that logic the USA under NATO command committed an act of terrorism when it bombed a TV station in Serbia during the war there. Also where do you draw the line on collatoral damage? To kill one millitary target is it acceptable to bomb his appartment block in full anticipation of 200 dead civillian colateral damage? This is what Israel has done in the past, is that acceptable or an act of terror? Or how about the targeting of a Security contractor who is not in the millitary? Or a intelligence asset who is a civillian? Therefore the unspecific indescriminate killing of civillians is the tradmark of the terrorist. The targeted killing of specific civillians is a different matter. So just because a group may kill civillians in the persuit of a political goal, I would argue that it does not automaticly make it a terrorist organisation. The use of violence perpertrated by individuals or organisations in order to persue a political goal where a valid democratic process is in place but ignored are terrorists. I maintain that this definition is more valid than the emotive and simplistic distinction of killing of civilians.

You are wrong. After shooting the soldiers there was a pause in the shooting when they then turned and shot the two pizza delivery men and two other civillians. They didn't just get caught up in a burst of fire, they were deliberately targeted.

I have friends from both sides of the community up north. No one wants to go back to the way it was. I spoke to two guys, one Catholic who lost his wife to a UFF murder and a Prod who lost his brother and was shot himself by the PIRA, neither of them wanted anything but peace. What kind of psycho would want to return to the troubles? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

And thats the question, how many more attacks? Now the SRR are officially working up north, and with the 300lb IED discovered last month it could be a slippery road to escalation. A couple of times in the last two weeks I've driven up north and both times heavily armed PSNI have had VCPs just outside of Newry. Think its will be a sight we'll be seeing more of over the comming weeks. Hopefully these idiots will be dealt with swiftly (most likely like Brendan McNamee and McGlinchey were) When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Not necessarily. There are brave terrorists and cowardly ones. These ones were cowardly. The Taliban who engaged the British Army head on in Afgahnistan regardless of having no air support were brave, still scum but brave scum none the less.

I think the same distinction can be applied no matter what your political leaning is to distinguish a terrorist from a freedom fighter. 'Freedom fighters fight because they have no democratic recourse.' Thats the bottom line. Becase often it is not possible to distinguish them in any other way. But that doesn't cahnge the fact that two hours up the road from me seven families lives have been chnged forever.

If I did it wasn't intentionally. What do you mean? That either way the result is the same? Human damage, pain and suffering? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

There is no double standard here, these criminals are not freedom fighters they are simply terrorists. Last night they not only shot the soldiers (who no longer patrol the streets but were simply getting a pizza) but then turned the guns on to the pizza delivery guys and two other civilians. Freedom fighters fight because they have no democratic recourse. There are full and fair elections in Northern Ireland engaged in by all parties from the political spectrum. These criminals are simply trying to draw the troops back onto the streets. No one on either side wants their children to grow up like my generation did. This action has been condemed by not only the Unionists but by Sinn Fein and the Nationalist SDLP. This is what Gerry Adams (Sinn Fein leader) had to say about last nights attack. "Last night's attack was an attack on the peace process. It was wrong and counter productive," "Those responsible have no support, no strategy to achieve a United Ireland. "Their intention is to bring British soldiers back onto the streets. They want to destroy the progress of recent times and to plunge Ireland back into conflict. "Irish republicans and democrats have a duty to oppose this and to defend the peace process. "Sinn Fein has a strategy to bring about an end to British rule in our country by peaceful and democratic means. "...We support the police in the apprehension of those involved in last night's attack." So don't kid yourself that these cowardly scum are somehow freedom fighters.
