Yet Americans idolize him.

since he used terrorism tactic, then yes he is a criminal. The Americans who idolized him must be anarchists or Domestic Dissents.
 
Is that the guy who blew up the Blarney stone? I heard all that was left was Blarney Rubble..... :dunno:

My stance is that all war is morally wrong. Unfortunately, because we humans have still not been able to shrug off our primitive mechanisms of conflict resolution, it persists.

And yet we try to make "rules of engagement" in an attempt to add moral credibility to war. This is saddening. You cannot say that one form of war is okay, and one is not. From a moral standpoint, none of it is okay. If we are going to engage in war, why is it wrong to send a child as a bomb carrier okay to bomb civilian targets? If it's all wrong, then it is all equally wrong. Therefore, it is all fair during the act of war.

A child being used as a bomb carrier is not dirty fighting or wrong because of the rules of war; it's wrong because of the rules of humanity.
 
asking fellow Americans.... any of you idolize Michael Collins?

I idolize his whiskey. :lol:

And a couple days ago, there were certainly a lot of pints of Guinness being raised in his honor here and everywhere across the country.

Eh, I don't support war (obviously), but since it continues there's not much I can do about it. A world free of war is a nice thought, but at this stage in our human evolution, it's still utopian.

The problem is not war itself. War is just a symptom and the violent manifestation of basic human conflicts. Everything that causes wars between nations can be observed on a much smaller scale on the elementary school program.

Teach your children.
