One more thing about bombs, I don't think they are a justifiable weapon in war, as they are responcible for the new term "colateral damage". I believe that one cannot point to the IRA and say that singles them out as terrorists, while the US and Britain continue to drop the same devices from 30,000 feet. I recall Mr. Majors refering to the IRA men who staged a mortor attack on 10 Downing street, from the center of London and escaping on a motor bike as "cowards", while his lads were dropping bombs on Irac from a hight fairly out of much danger. I am greatly distrustful when violent and dangerous nations make the definitions which describe concepts of fair play.
