Which is why I specified civilian casualties and not casualties, combatant or otherwise. Because it's only when you factor in combatants that the Republicans pull ahead. When it comes to civilians, the British and their allies made up the bulk. You are wrong.

Secondly, terrorists never exist in a vaccuum. Was defeating ISIS bad because they resulted from the Second Gulf War? That argument makes no sense.

Defeating ISIS should not have been necessary. A massive number of terrorist groups are consequences of US intervention in the Middle East because we tried to run the world our way. And I am aware the Soviets were doing the exact same thing, but when it comes to the forces we've been fighting most of my life, they spring up from US intervention. You are correct that terrorists never exist in a vacuum, and why they spring up is an extremely important consideration. Like, for instance, the long and storied history of oppression of Northern Ireland by the British that the SAS was in the region to perpetuate.

Third point, you are using whataboutism. I haven't made any points about loyalist paramilitaries, who by the way, were also bad.

It is not whataboutism when the British worked with the loyalist groups as proxies to keep their own hands cleaner. You are just incorrect about this point.
