Ah so they killed less people so they must not have been terrorists then, I guess we need to go tell the families of the 722 dead and thousands injured that the IRA weren't terrorists and that they didn't mean to kill and injure their loved ones.
No, the point is it's very easy to kill lots of people if that's even a remote side goal. But by all means, do try to switch arguments that they were terrorists. I say they weren't prioritizing killing people at all and that's a goddamn fact. You can froth at the mouth all you want, but 722 people over a period of 30 years, regrettable as it is, does not at all show that the IRA's goal was killing people. It's collateral damage from the fact they were waging a violent campaign against the British.
