Talk:The Troubles

This needs work. The nature of such violence and the relations of the various groups and their motives and tactics needs to be charted in detail. Though violence in whatever form it takes is terrible, there is a difference between defensive military activity and knowingly targeting innocent civilians e.g. the "Real" IRA's killings at Omagh, or Bloody Sunday.
unattributed quote
in Nationalist or Republican political parties, 2/3 through the article, the phrase "insight into the thinking of" is in quotes, but the passive voice of described avoids attributing the quote, which is fairly significant. Although i know very little of Irish politics, i did a little googling and i found a transcript (http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/record/reports/990215.htm) in which the phrase is used by Fraser Agnew (http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/members/biogs/fagnew.htm). Could this be the source of this quote? If noone objects, i'll attribute it to him in the article. Foobaz·✐ 07:21, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Terrorism
I note that this article does not use the word "terrorist" or "terrorism" once throughout the entire article. Surely this is necessary for an article on the NI troubles!
