Good points everyone. I believe peaceful protest should come before violence any day. However there are many setbacks. Firstly, an awful lot of people are too poverty stricken to make there way to a "central" protest spot. Many governments are renowned for silencing protesters. Note: the students in iran. Who's to say other governments would not stop these protests as they may affect trade relatinons with the states. I think what we are seeing now is the last stand. Think of when you are arguing with someone who has more than you and they are slightly condescending. You try to appeal to their morals but they arent listening. You start to get angry, but they just smile at you, and soon you fly into a rage and hit this big guy. (911). He smacks u back and knocks you out.(america bombs afghanistan). Now he is in a rage because someone had the nerve to hit him, and he goes looking for your friends to beat the shit outta them and steal their lunch money (oil). You cant stand up to this big bully so u go into a mindstate where you would do anything to stop him. Even kill him.This is where it is at at the moment...both sides are too incensed to stop. Has anyone suggested that al queda leaders and us leaders sit down and discuss a possible solution.When the us comes to ireland it appeals for either side not to retaliate and escalate the violence. how about they take some of their own medicine and save the rest of us from a world war

There was no 'war' lol. Britain made Ireland a part of itself. So ITW could not have joined the Irish army because there wasn't one fighting a formal battle. SO it's not that simple. And as my family is from Ireland, Ireland, is if you like, my motherland, if I had been living in Ireland at that time you best believe I would be using what you percieve to be 'terrorism' to fight for MY country.Now stick that in your fucking pipe
I say were because we've wiped most of them off the planet by now.
