What if the pockets of IRA members had exploded (yes, I know. Say 40 years ago when they were doing their share of bombing)? Does anyone seriously dispute that Hezbollah is a proxy army for Iran?

I think your comparison stops holding wage as,soon as you mention the Conservative Party. They just aren’t the same thing as Hezbollah.

Well if it had happened to 3000 IRA members in Ireland, that would be about tantamount to a declaration of war by Britain. But even if not, it wouldn’t do wonders for the peace process and I could guarantee bombs would still be going off in the UK to this day.
