Real terrorists are the powerful - Rose Dugdale

This morning the John Murray show on RTE Radio 1 carried an interview with Rose Dugdale.

Ms Dugdale spoke of her time in the IRA.

Right through the interview she kept repeating that the real terrorists in our world are the rich and powerful, who plunder and steal from the poor and marginalised.

She referred to the drone attacks on Afghan innocent people.

It made for great radio.

TG4 are screening a documentary on Rose Dugdale at 22.30.

Michael, Terrorists are by definition powerful: they use the power of terror to inflict their world view on others. This is precisely what made Bin Laden powerful. Sadly many such terrorists can readily see the misuse of power among the wealthy but rarely acknowledge their own bloody roles in inflicting terror on others, most of whom are neither wealthy or powerful. I believe Rose Dugdale falls into this category.
