B.The army's "excuse" to be in Ulster was not because of the IRA it was to protect catholic republicans from increasing attacks and civil disorder from Prodestant Loyalists as it were.
Note: i don't consider policemen combat targets.
Don't talk bollocks mate. The army's excuse does not pretect on catholic republican. Now if you had any idea about the history of this country you would automatically know that the PIRA started in 1969 in protection of the Catholic and Republican people because of British army, Police and Loyalist colaberation. They have no excuse to stay now that the "threat" (the IRA) is gone.

Your hometown has an army base of 4000 for an army of your own country, yes? Picture it being another countries army, you wouldn't be very happy about that, would you?

I do consider policemen who colaberate with Loyalists a target, I do not consider police who do thier job correctly and unbiasedly a combat target. Remember, not every republican agrees with bomb campaigns, not every republican agrees with the end of armed struggle, either.

these places were filled with civillians. or would i be right in claiming that 9-11 was an attack on commerce in the wtc rather than civillian targets?
Thats what warnings are for. The Al Qaeda are 100 times more ruthless than the IRA, who don't recognize civilians from military personel.

Stop getting your answers from half arsed news reports. Live through it and see the "terrorism" with your own eyes.
