so they're in the same camp as rumsfold / bush?
I oppose US state terrorists and IRA terrorists. Do you?
You can't be anti-war in one place and pro-war in another.
nv, your question makes no sense, do you mean "are you against all violence all the time?" or are you simply conflating state violence with anti state violence. bush and co, blair and bertie would have us believe that state violence is legal and above reproach in all circumstances because state power is derived from it. unless you are under their spell and thinking like the state you've got to recognize the distinction between these two forms of 'terror'.
I do distinguish between the two forms of terror. One type pretends to be legally justified, one pretends to be morally justified. But both have greater political goals (US power in the world, getting NI out of UK). Both involve the cold-blooded murder of innocent human beings - in Omagh or Baghdad.
i dont recall the provos ever wheeling out morality as a legitimation for their campaigns. I think their claim to legitimacy would derive from a political point about self determination and anti colonialism. the brits on the other hand have recently started to talk about the moral justifications for the war, it was argument number seven i think that blair has used, bush of course is never shy about invoking his conversations with god about it. and are you talking about republicans in general, or provos or realos or continuity because i think omagh was the work of one of the splinters. now eniskillen might be a stronger example for you to take. but even eniskillen wont make your moral arguments against the murder of innocents more forceful without a clear political critique of terror, of which by the way there are many.
