How about self defense, how about trying to free your country?
Would america resort to ressistance like movements if it was invaded?
YES
Same with every country.
The ones who cut peoples heads off are bstrds and should be shot but there are diffrent groups.
You cant see everything as black and white its grey.
Heres a quiz, did the IRA support fighting?

But everything is black and white. If I give someone money with the knowledge that said money will be used to fund the bombing of an airliner. Then I'am culpable for that act as well.

The IRA or the Provo's?

That was an example of Conspiracy for you not a statement of facts. But okay, here. If I give someone money knowing that money is used to fund the suicide bombing of an Iraqi Police Station then I am culpable for that act also. Better?

No the IRA at least the political arm did not advocate terrorist tactics thats why PIRA broke off.

If you donate money to Red Cross your pretty sure it will be used for relief efforts. Right?

If you donate Money to say Hammas. Well then your pretty sure it will be used for some Nasty Stuff. Right?

Sorry I can't buy the whole line of thought that as long as they are not actively involved in a terrorist act that their hands are clean. Especially if they give monetary support to known terrorist organizations.

They may not have pulled the trigger. But they bought the gun.

PIRA as terrorists? Technically yes they fit the profile.

well devilwasp, most rich people are really really stingy about what their money is going for, so ususally rather then giving blindly, they know who they are giving their money to and for what purpose it will be used, you see if some guy comes to me and asks to borrow my gun so he can shoot up a school, well if i give him the gun, then i am responsible for his actions.

Who is to deem it is terrorist though?
The british government deemed american fighters in the independance war terrorists. "terrorist is someone fighting a government or more.

You can not say that they bought the gun, they gave money to the person.
It could have been to help that person or to help the comunity.
Remember the IRA and PIRA helped the comunity in ireland cause they didnt like drugs.

Which is what americans where fighting for during the inderpendance war, yes no?
