The IRA has also committed both terrorist acts (pub bombings) and non-terrorist acts (shooting paratroopers that attacked nationalist

areas

while wearing their combat fatigues).

"Attacked nationalist areas"? They shot everyone they saw? In that case

you

should report them to the British authorities;

Reporting them to the authorities is what the Bloody Sunday inquiry is all about, if I'm not mistaken.

Ah... yes.. the singular incident that occurred 30 years ago. Its not

exactly

the west bank though, is it? What Ojevind is pointing out that is the your original comment seems to

imply

that the British Army 'attacked' nationalist areas and therefore its ok to

bomb

them back.Can you prove that this occurred or is just perhaps a slight exaggeration...

Bloody Sunday is only once incident of many in which the British Army killed nationalist civilians. The British Army does not have to try to kill every single person for it to be an attack.

Your snide insinuations aside, I never said anywhere that any action of the IRA was OK, or justified. I merely said that some IRA actions do not count as terrorist actions but rather as other non-terrorist unjust actions. Some of them don't even fit your ever-changing non-definition of terrorism.

It seemed at one point that you had grasped the difference between classifying actions as just/unjust and classifying them as terrorist/non-terrorist, but you seem to have lost that distinction again.

Trade.
