From an objective viewpoint, we would have no problems if this was done to the occupying Russian forces in Afghanistan. In this case the British are the occupying force, so they have to expect the same sort of action. I don`t think that justified and correct necessarily equate.

I find it quite hypocritical to condemn the battle for liberation when we are the ones on the receiving end, whereas we would be applauding such actions if they were taken against some other regimes. A bomb of this type in an area of Iraq with strong loyalty to Saddam Hussein would be interpreted as an act of defiance against a dictator. Ok, so we aren`t being dictators over to Ireland, but we are the occupying force.

Whoever wins writes the history, sometimes you need to stand back and be objective.
