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.

But they'd probably have to kill more than 20 a year for it to be considered an 'attack'.. My issue is that the word attack is somewhat harsh considering their legal right to be there and the alarming lack of casualites for such a dramatic sounding event. Its not exactly the Somme or Operation Barbarossa is it.

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.

Now you're just copying Russ.

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.

Bummer eh.... more long pointless arguments then..
