Doubtless in order that there would be no unnecessary interruption to business in London, or damage to tourism all over England.<br /><br />This is one of the issues I saw mentioned on Harris's page.

I'd hazard a guess that they suspected that hitting big English cities would cause more anguish to the London government than damage done to somewhere in the other Celtic countries. No more than a guess. I'm not good at putting myself in the shoes of terrorists.<br /><br />Most people would feel deep sympathy with other humans whose lives have been blown apart by terrorism... or indeed by anything else.<br /><br />I have, for example the deepest sympathy with these innocent Libyans killed by Nato, the Norwegians killed by a right-wing fruit job or the people affected by the English riots. <br /><br />These killings, however, weren't somewhere in Africa, somewhere in Scandinavia or somewhere in the UK, they were in Libya, Norway and England.<br /><br />Get over it Tom and grow up.<br /><br />Thanks for another interesting contribution Anon.

Here’s how it was introduced (by Tom Harris):<br /><br />“It’s a fact that the IRA never targeted Scotland. Would it have been okay in the 70s to announce that the republicans were attacking ‘the English not the British’ before the bodies had been removed from the wreckage of the Birmingham pubs?”.<br /><br />The emotive language used indicates that Harris believes that he’s on safe territory here. What kind of cold-hearted ‘nat’ would contest this? But the issue here isn’t so much whether it would have been “okay” to announce this, but rather, whether it would have been factually correct, then or now, to announce this or, less combatively than Harris, simply acknowledge it. And by Harris’s own admission – “the fact is that the IRA never targeted Scotland” (let’s not forget Wales here either), this is a fact. It doesn’t lessen our sympathy or empathy with the people of London, Birmingham and Brighton, who were killed in these atrocities, any more that our failure to take on American nationality lessens our sympathy or empathy with the victims of 9/11.<br /><br />There’s a final point worth noting here. In over 25 years of reading reports on the IRA and its activities, I have never been able to find one source, anywhere, that provides an explanation as to why the IRA did not attack cities in Wales or Scotland. In fact, it’s as if it’s a taboo subject. Harris knows this, of course, which is why he made the ‘analogy’ in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
