If it was so official then why didnt they claim responsibility?

Allan said:Explain to me what difference it makes, if you call it an act of war or terrorism.
lord667 said:The army was official, not the attack. At least, that's how I understand it. Maybe it was some secret unit. Whatever, the point is that they were agents of the British government.
Dora said:creastfallen what you write is stupid as hell and its just offensive accusation so dont say your a tolerant person when you cannot bear other ppls opinion - pagan was against philosophycal and religios beliefs theories and systems of violent extremist groups, not ppl (here), ffs, and you are offending a person - thats a big difference. and from a govermental action you condemed a whole nation... If anyone is a racist/fasist/biased/aggressive/evil here then its you. shame. get a cold shower.
and look up "hypocrisy" in a lexicon, maybe you didnt notice that its what you did.
Strangelight said:So planting car bombs on the main shopping streets of a city centre is an 'act of war?'

lord667 said:You can't go to war over an act of terrorism. Osama Bin laden is a Saudi Arabian subject, but because his actions are terrorist and not government policy, we have no justification to invade the Saudi. If he was the Saudi King, then we might.

Who died went to heaven , and put you in charge of the fuckin warlord667 said:Before anyone jumps in, the Afghans were known to be harbouring and supporting terrorists, so we did have a justification against them.
lord667 said:If it's done by one country's army, secret or otherwise, in another country then yes, it is.

Allan said:So if you're a person of authority, your actions are acts of war and all those who you claim authority of, are responsible, not yourself primarily. I'm still confused as to what your point is.
Strangelight said:Surely thats just as unacceptable as the Palestinian 'terrorists' though, killing civilians and that. Its exactly the same thing.
lord667 said:The Rainbow Warrior could have been viewed as an act of war by the nations of any of the passengers. The French government's official secret service attacked foreign nationals in foreign waters without just cause. Dublin and Monaghan could have been an act of war because the British government's official army bombed and killed Irish civilians. Either could have easily started a war in more militaristic times. As for the Indonesians - you can, though I wouldn't normally call it such. It would be a cause for civil war, rather than (uncivil?) war.
