[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;26802869]In this thread, people mix up a terrorist, someone whose actions are met to create fear in a society, with a militant, who fights on a front though may not be supported or under the control of a government. al-Qaeda: Terrorists Taliban: Militants old IRA: Militants New IRA: Terrorists[/QUOTE] I don't know if "militants" is correct when it comes to talibans. I mean, after all, they're being led by religious nutcases.
[QUOTE=Prismatex;26771566]While I'm by no means a fan of Peter King, you realize that he stopped supporting the IRA, right? And it can be argued that the original 1920s IRA was not a terrorist organization, but a rebel group fighting for freedom. Only in the 70s and later did some of the splinter groups turn into terrorist organizations.[/QUOTE] Oh well if he stopped supporting the IRA because they opposed the Iraq War he sounds like a wonderful guy
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;26809647]Oh well if he stopped supporting the IRA because they opposed the Iraq War he sounds like a wonderful guy[/QUOTE] That's not what I'm saying at all, and you know that.
Fuck the IRA.
I can read... maybe.
[QUOTE=Prismatex;26812043]That's not what I'm saying at all, and you know that.[/QUOTE] We do, but his point is that the only reason why he stopped supporting the IRA is because they were against the Iraq War, not because he opened his eyes etc.
