Nigel is taking us to CHURCH! Ouch!
I found your points very carefully thought out and interesting.
I'll sit back and watch a while but would like to take issue with:
Summary execution for breaking curfew is relegated to the days of the War of Independence, when those self-same 'terrorists' by modern standards overthrew their legal rulers.
Okay, so who exactly are you calling "terrorists?"
Fighters for the independence of America? AND in what areas did this Summary execution for breaking curfew take place? I've not heard of this bit of American History and so I am curious as to who sanctioned it?
Your use of "terrorist" seems not very appropriate here. Perhaps you mean something else?
I really don't think that is a fair comparison.
