It's now reported that over 190 are dead from the blast, couple of thousand injured, ETA political wing are not claiming responsibility.
If a country invaded and took control of the U.K how many of us would keep fighting and disrupting the enemy ANYWAY WE COULD? If our familys where been executed and our homeland plundered who would bomb the enemy and his family etc or whatever we could get near too? Im sure I would. That makes me a Terrorist.
No that would be fighting a war to try and repel the invaders, as you would maintain a sustained attack against them. Terrorists do not do that but use attack tactics to scare, frighten, disrupt and inflict suffering in an attempt to gain what they want
Your both completely incorrect. The IRA are freedom fighters but because they are anti-British we call them terrorists. As has been said before, One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.
I agree the IRA are terrorist, because they use random attacks as their main method of attack, rather than a sustained attack ie war
But if the UK was attacked and taken over, and the main army decimated, you would not be able to maintain a sustained attack/defence. All you would be able to do would be smaller attacks, but in significant places, to try to get your country back. Teknofish is right, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Your definition just depends on which side you are standing.
that was my point If the UK was invaded by Arabs or any other persona non grata I'd be a freedom fighter/terrorist* too * delete as appropriate
Its all fucked up.......................................end of. To be honest, its man, our tribal instinct has created nations, which in turn created patriotism ( both good and bad sides of it ). Whats happened to the individual? Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori. ( my latin is a bit rusty )
