GUEST,just a nobody BS: Difference between peace and anti-war (72* d) RE: BS: Difference between peace and anti-war 15 Oct 01


Anti-war and peace, they are pretty much the same creature in different clothes.

You speak of the ambiguity of the term terrorist with the IRA. When the call to arms originally went out to defend Nothern Ireland, There was a military presense, it fought against a military. By that definition, it is a revolt. When the Real I.R.A., planted the bomb in Omgeah (sp?), That was terrorism. Terrorism targets civilians and non-military. Terrorism erodes the confidence of the people that support the military, and weakens the governments ability to continue a given action. Basically, there is little ambiguity in the word.

I suppose, since I drifted off the topic, if you really want to know the difference between pro-peace and anti-war lay out a scenario. I just heard on the news that a 7 month old has been diagnosed with Anthrax. If this is followed back to a terrorist group, what would you do? Look closely at how you feel, define yourself as anti-war or pro-peace. I think within a few posts you will find your answer. I refrain from my comments now, because I just put my 3 month old daughter to bed and my thoughts are vile. Untill I can calm down my belief is tainted by immense greif, horror, but most of all rage.
