But as one is a terrorist organisation and the other is an Army then its

not

the same thing.

OK, so if an IRA unit ambushes a British Army patrol, they are terrorists.

But

if a an Army unit fires into a peaceful civilian demonstration, they are

not

terrorists?

Were the Nazi SS terrorists?

Your logic is completely circular. IRA members are terrorists. Why?

Because

they belong to a terrorist organization. Why is it a terrorist

organization?

Because it's members are terrorists. Why are they terrorists? Because

they

commit terrorism. What is terrorism? Terrorism is terrorism.

Terrorism... is what the other guy does.
