Comments on: One’s man terrorist… http://antonyloewenstein.com/blog/2005/07/29/ones-man-terrorist/ Sat, 22 Nov 2008 04:59:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Shay http://antonyloewenstein.com/blog/2005/07/29/ones-man-terrorist/#comment-260507 Shay Fri, 29 Jul 2005 13:47:00 +0000 http://antonyloewenstein.com/blog/2005/07/29/ones-man-terrorist/#comment-260507 What the hell is Paul on about? Disappointed that Mandela let down the Aryan race by helping to put the kaffirs in office are you? For the record, Mandela did take part in and sanction bombings, but they were hits against infrastructure and very carefully designed to avoid casualties.<br/><br/>As for the IRA, I'm willing to accept such grandstanding from Howard as long as he admits the equally criminal actions of the British in the same conflict. And as he is visiting the British Prime Minister without so much as a mention of culpability I assume that this will never happen. But dear, wasn't it so brave of him to go and visit the troops in Iraq. No wait... isn't Iraq supposed to be safe for democracy now? Dammit, I'm confused. Time for a drink.

Freedom fighters?</i><br/><br/>Most assuredly. If you take a longer view of Irish history the Provisional IRA was the direct successor of the government of a 32 county Ireland proclaimed by Pearse in 1916. It therefore had every right to take military action against both the quite illegitimate government of the British province of Northern Ireland and that government's sponsor.<br/><br/>That there was errr... collateral damage is a matter of regret.

Not many people share that view, but there you go. Guess any campaign that uses violence to advance its aim is terrorism in your eyes. Well, that’s a unique position.
