A bomb in a waste basket on a public street, a bomb aimed at a church congregation, a bomb thrown in a bar, all aimed to kill or maim indiscriminately, this is not the way to gain freedom for a part of Ireland where the majority want to stay part of England.

It is also not the way to get sympathy for your cause. I feel nothing for Bobby Sands, I feel no sympathy for the fate of any terrorist, I feel for their victims and their families.
