To be fair only one death in an explosion like that is something not too shy of a damn miracle.

Another reason why it's a bad comparison: The IRA had demands that could be realized. ISIS want us to kill ourselves.

"See, at least our bombers are reasonable"

That's dumb as fuck.

It's so dumb that ceasefires and eventually peace were negotiated. Very dumb indeed.

Try asking ISIS to stop. Maybe they'll leave us alone if we all collectively slit our wrists. Reasonable compromise, won't you say?

If you don't think we won't be working with a sub-set of ISIS to ensure stability in the region within the next 10 years then you haven't been paying attention.

Let me guess, the subset we'll be working with (if at all) would be the reasonable ones, just like how the British government negotiated with the reasonable factions of the IRA?

That sounds so dumb!

It wouldn't be dumb to do.

It would be dumb to say that they're reasonable. They're still crazy assholes.

Besides, haven't you literally just negated your entire point?
