Villan,
I do not think that the Birmingham pub bombings were great. I abhor all acts of war and senseless slaughter. What I try not to do is only see the carnage when it happens to me and mine. I realise that your perspective is altered by how close you and your father were to the event. I am with you in that I also do not support killing in any way shape or form.

As for the nameless guest who calls me a disgrace and asks how can I compare WW11 with Irish bandits; I didn't. I likened the slaughter of thousands of innocent people in their homes to the slaughter of innocent people down the pub.
