Martin Sheen proud of uncle's IRA past

[Thorne]

I don’t think there is any doubt in my mind that the allies can say what they like, but in the end they were atrocities.

I agree. Atrocities by anybody's standards. Acts of terror in fact, designed to achieve a political as well as a military goal.

If the Germans had won the war and so too the Japanese, then again there is no doubt in my mind that the British and American high command would have been on trial for war crimes.

Which goes right along with denuseri's and my statement that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, or patriot.

However, we all know that the winners of wars will never admit guilt.

History tends to be written by the winners. A fact of life. If the German's had won, the London blitz would have been portrayed in a much better light, much as Dresden was. A sad necessity of combat.
