If it's hurting, it's working?
Why do people resort to terrorism? What motivates people to kill, maim and otherwise harm their fellow men and women? Because it works?
Remember, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. The winners write the official history, so Iran-Contra wasn't terrorism and Reagan was eulogised on his death. Reagan and his evil cohort Th@tch*r both called Nelson Mandela a terrorist. Is that how history will remember him? Whatever your view, there's no more apartheid in South Africa. The bombing of Dresden? Hiroshima? Vietnam? None of them were terrorism. It wasn't terrorism when Israel attacked the USS Liberty in 1967 because they are on 'our' side. Nor was it terrorism when the US invaded Panama or when the RAF bombed of Iraq prior to the war. I'm sure it won't be terrorism should the US invade Venezuela. But Iraqis resisting the occupation of their country? Arabs pushed to the limit by over 1,000 years of western meddling in their countries. Why, they're terrorists of course. And can't they sometimes be useful.
Targeted guinea pig farm closesPlease don't think I'm making any moral judgments or valuations here - I'm not, I'm just posing a question. Many of the methods and tactics used by the ALF are totally unjustifiable, but ask yourself if they care about that tonight. No they don't, because they are out celebrating the success of their campaign. Would there have been a peace settlement in Northern Ireland without republican and loyalist terrorism? Would Israel be withdrawing from Gaza and parts of the West Bank if members of Hamas and other groups were not prepared to kill themselves and others in the name of their cause? But, to a greater or lesser extent, because of terrorism there is peace in Northern Ireland, Palestinians have territory to call their own and some animals will no longer suffer unnecessary abuse in the name of 'science'. Have the ends justified the means?
A farm is to stop breeding guinea pigs for medical research after intimidation by animal rights activists. The family-run Darley Oaks Farm in Newchurch, Staffordshire, has been at the centre of a campaign of abuse.

They're horrible. You may be interested in my article on the animal rights at www.samanthaburns.com
