Did i say they were?
You said that the IRA are not like the Taliban,i've shown that in some ways they were similar.I never said they were exactly the same,so don't try and imply that i did.
Between 1970-2005 the IRA killed over 2000 people in Northern Ireland & Britain.But terrorism is terrorism.Its the brutal killing of innocent people that matters,not just the figures.& how am i being racist
I was talking about NATO going into the Balkans after the conflicts started in the 1990's.Its quite obvious i did not mean they supported the KLA.And NATO bombed Belgrade and i believe the US is a part of that organization so don't try to the blame only on Britain.
The US are bombing Pakistan because they think they can get away with it because it has an Islamic regime.It would be very different if it was the UK..France..greece
Bush said Saddam had WMD,and people believed him even there wasn't a shred of proof. Such hypocrisy.He also said the Taliban were behind 9/11 even though there wasn't a shread of proof. Again,hypocrisy.
RIGHT.... I see the Benazir-the-butcher sponsered Taliban 'helped' 'stabilize' Afghanistan by slaughtering all opposition and imposing a medieval totalitarian theocratic regime?
Yes, u did. U implied moral equivalence bwtn the IRA & the Taliban, now ur trying to back track. So I'm not implying u did this, I'm saying it explicitly.
Irish Americans sponsored the IRA.Yet the UK didn't bomb America,we didn't even threaten to do so.
Do ur research, the attack on Serbia over Kosovo was an independent act from the conflicts that were settled by the Dayton accords. Once again u don't have the facts and so ur trying hide from them
Once again, since u can't address the ridiculousness of ur position, i.e. ur blindly believing the speech of Benazir Bhutto, u try to change the subject and start talking abt Sadaam Hussein. Another admission of failure by u.
U could offer no answ. I see, as usual, since u can't address the ridiculousness of ur position so u try to change the subject.
What i say & what you think i imply are two different things.
In my 1st mention of the IRA i said,
I was talking of the sponsorship of terrorism,not the differences or similarities between the IRA and the Taliban.
You can't seem to grasp that terror is terror,you care more about the death toll and the period of times these things took place.
The NATO bombing campaign started 3yrs after the KLA first began attacking Serbian & Yugoslav forces.
The goal of this bombing operation was summed up by NATO's spokesman;"Serbs out,peacekeepers in,refugees back".
I blindly believe nothing,
i was mereley passing information on to you,
My answer was to question why you see it as it being acceptable to ridicule and condemn Benazir Bhutto,when the UK,US and Saudi Arabia had the same views and did the same things.You have yet to answer this question.
.And my reason for mentioning Bush and Saddam was to show how idiotic your reply was.
HOWEVER, overall the USA has been a force of good in this world. Unlike the murderous, duplicitous, stinking blood-sucking British Empire,
Hmmm,3 blind patriots,3 people who think they know me,3 people who say that what i write has implications,3 people who have a very similar debate style......I wouldn't be surprised if all 3 were the same person y'know....after all,the intelligence level is just the same as well;basing arguments on things that they think has been said instead of on what has actually been said.
...well,thats just...lets say it together hyp-o-crit-i-cal....
Unlike the murderous, duplicitous, stinking blood-sucking British Empire,
Proven it!
What,because i think all life has equal worth
And to call me a bigot when i describe all life as equal and you describe us Brits as,
Unlike the murderous, duplicitous, stinking blood-sucking British Empire,
No you don't think all life is equal, u think the life of a brit is worth more than the lives of americans or afghans - ergo you are a racist - typical of most british flunkee cops.
So since you have clearly identified with the racist thieving murderous genocidal British Empire, then you have again exposed ur racist creditentials. Like I said, debating you is like shooting fish in Barrel. You're too easy to deal with! In fact ur starting to crack up since ur getting paranoid thinking that the 4 users that have opposed u are involved in 'conspiracy'
trying taking a few courses in real academic subjects like mathematics, basic logic, physics, etc.
Look its getting sad when u start becoming paranoid, so out of mercy to ur fragility I'm cut you some slack.
Blaming them for all the worlds ills is idiotic, pathetic & hateful...
And refusing to acknowledge America's contribution...

The Taliban is medieval and nihilist, the IRA was not, they were reasoned with, negotiated with, have decommissioned and are part of the political process.

So,you don't need concrete evidence you just need to consider a country a haven of terrorists and you can attack it.
I guess Saudi Arabia still isn't considered that even though bin Laden is from there,the country has the largest percentage of AQ members and 15 of the 19 terrorists from 9/11 were also from there.
BEIRUT -- An intriguing item about the mysterious leader of a ferocious militant group floated around the Lebanese and Syrian media over the weekend.
According to a report in the Arab-language Syrian newspaper Al Liwaa, the leader of the Al Qaeda-linked militant group Fatah al Islam was captured two months ago in Syria.
The report says that Shaker Abbsi, a former Libyan air force pilot turned Islamist, was caught in the poor Meliha district of south Damascus and hauled off to prison....
The report says Abbsi's loyalists were planning to carry out a suicide bombing at a Damascus soccer stadium during a game a month ago to avenge him, but were thwarted by Syrian security.
The website of the Lebanese newspaper An Nahar reported last month that Syrian authorities had told French President Nicolas Sarkozy that they had arrested Abbsi.
