    So your real problem, Ergo, is not with horrible deaths of innocent civilians, which you seemed to imply in your earlier posts - you seem to be OK with those if you feel the conflict is a "just war" - but rather you just don't believe the Irish had a right to fight the Brits for their freedom. Can you confirm that, just so I understand?

    Yet again;

    U still can't answer my earlier question - can U?

    Though, U persist in posting comments about this and that!

    Fact is, Oglach. Tom McElwee was a hero and a Patriot and U are just a nobody with no credibility.....
    He or she aint replied to anything rom me either.
    What a loser.

    Ah So! Now I understand. A just war is when Britain or any of her allies defend themselves against foreign attack, and an unjust war is when any country defends itself against the attacks of Britain or any of her allies.

    In a "just war" you can intentionally incinerate 100,000 defenseless men, women and children with firebombs in a single night, and that is quite justified. But in an "unjust" war, i.e. a war against British invasion, then the killing of a single civilian by accident is conclusive proof that the war was, indeed, unjust.

    Thankyou Ergo, I never quite understood that before
