Which is not what I was referring to.i was referring to the absurd Holland analogy. As far as Ireland is concerned, I don't hold the IRA to have been the cause, you know, that troublesome thing called etiology.

As for bombing and terrorism, it seemed to have served Irgun very well indeed!

We is those of us in the UK who lived through the pub bombings and bus bombings etc of the 1970s.  


Bombing people generally doesn't solve very much unless you are willing to invade and take over. And Britain had already done that.

Actually we had a bombing campaign and we didn't bomb Belfast. Or, for that matter, Boston where much of the money came from.

(and bombs went off in the city I lived in and in the town my parents lived in).

I think the analogy would be more like, What would you expected the Netherlands to do if Britain stole half of its land mass...I wouldn't be very much surprised if the Dutch fought back.
