(V): This is what those who've never been in such a situation don't understand about wars on terror. The Northern Ireland situation went on for decades. An attack could happen at any time anywhere in the UK. Those fighting had no uniform, just their cause.




I dont buy any analogy between the war on terror and the civil war in north ireland.....what because they had no uniforms, and were fighting for a cause???? There were actual people who could sit down to reach a civil agreement, but not on the war on terror.... who do we get to have this conversation with to end the war on terror peacefully???? I can agree that there needs to be other fronts besides just killing them and shutting down their camps. more pro active and peaceful ways, but its rubbish to say that armys have no purpose and can have substitutes in every instance.
