oowee Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Sadly no doubt the first of very many. The price of 'winning' will be many deaths on both sides. There must be a better way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ira were infiltrated at the highest levels by the british military and other services, they knew that they were and that made them seek a peace deal. And yes the labour government sold out our troops while giving a get out of jail letter to terrorists, and nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace starts with small steps and hope for a better future. One side or both has to break the circle of hate. It takes a strong man or woman to stop the endless circle of violence and retaliation. Blair together with the leaders of the respective sides made a difference. You can call it what you like, but NI is a better place for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persecuting veterans in their 80's who die while waiting to be dragged through the courts , while known terrorists who killed and maimed go free with a letter from the labour government in their back pockets , Blair apart from being a liar and causing hundreds of thosands to die, also threw Veterans under the bus ,and it is continued by this labour government. Break the circle of hate stop dragging Veterans into court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashman Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 On the anniversary of the 7/10 terrorist attacks, it's worth noting that Israel appear to be waiting for whichever is the latest Ayatollah to show a hair on his Imamah before sending him to meet his maker. Perhaps the RAF can dig out some old Barnes Wallis Grand Slams to aid the bon voyage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the west we have a habit of projecting western rationality into the Arab Israeli conflict and as such we’re not measuring apples with apples. The Gary Lineker-esque ‘can’t we all just get along’ sentiments are frankly hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spread of terrorism then becomes an “us” problem - 1970s-style airport bombings, letter bombs, sporting events - not just rocket attacks on Israeli towns. That drags the West into the fight. Israel becomes an ally (again) and Iran gets an invasion. With that in mind, it appears better to sort out Iran now, before the trouble spreads to us.
