Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

One does wonder how she had special advisers around telling the director how to make bombs and torture people like the IRA did and think it's a noble cause.Comment

And no before you say so that does not excuse the frankly applaing traetment of the Irish by the British over the centuries.Space is big.

If you do something extremely big and bad to some other group of people over a very long period of time, and you continue to do it with no signs of stopping, then they are entitled to fight back in whatever way is necessary because they are fundamentally in the right, and you are fundamentally in the wrong. This is different from a regular war where both sides are often equally to blame.
"Whatever way is necessary" covers everything from non-violent resistance to terrorism to open revolt and war depending on the circumstances. French partisans did some pretty revolting stuff, but you don't hear that much about it because they were fundamentally in the right. Terrorism is a legitimate tactic in many instances. The only people who tend to say it isn't are those who benefit from saying so.
Frankly the IRA did some awful things, and some stupid things, and there was a small amount of collateral damage, but the opposition were far worse (and even bombed stuff to make it look like the IRA were doing it). It would have been very easy for the British to remove all responsibility for the conflict by getting the hell out of Ireland.
The IRA would have no reason to exist, if the British had simply left the Irish alone.Only feebs vote.Comment
