Just dwell on that answer Clive, as I fear you're making yourself look ridiculous now. Well actually I don't fear that, obviously I think it's funny

Are you going to explain to the world then what the difference is between a sustained attack by explosives delivered from the air over a period of years against civilians, as opposed to a sustained attack delivered from the ground over a period of years against civilians? You can't seriously be suggesting that one type of explosive is somehow different in its objective

Indeed, the IRA tactic is the more deadly of the two as the respective body counts prove

If you want to expand the temporal horizon however, because you think they aren't compatiable, then OK let's do that.

During the period 1969 - 1990 the IRA prosecuted a series of attacks against the UK (they also involved mortars and crude rockets like Hamas) at what point would you have carpet bombed Belfast with justfication
