[the scotsman]

3000 died in the Irish Troubles (1969-1997). Hardly puny.

You misunderstand scotsman. 3000 people is nothing to vlad, unless he can use it to bolster his argument as to the horrors of British "occupation". When he wants to, he can right off 3000 people as a justification for opposing British "tyranny". The end justifies the means, you see.

For a “war” it’s puny. How many have been killed in FARC’s terrorist war in Colombia over a comparable time period?
