Re: "War"
Isn't "civil war" a term suitable for the situation in Northern Ireland?

Re: "War"

Nonsense.
I am saying that "war" is something that can only be done by a Nation State.
I'm saying that "murder" by definition is an unjustified killing.
No individual ever has the right to kill another except when that person presents a direct and immediate personal threat.
Sorry but them's simply the facts.
Did the slaves in Ancient Rome have the right to kill their masters? Free other slaves and killing slave owners that weren't their masters?
Did the Resistance in uccopied Europe has the right to kill German soldiers?
What about the Spanish civil war, where the regular army rose against the elected goverment,and the civilians defended that goverment?
Things are never that black and white.
This is a view with a very narrow minded view. There are - as illustrated above by real cases - where civilians are perfectly entitled to use violence against a goverment - own or foreign.
