They were traitors and rebels, but not terrorists, since the attempt was made on their actual enemy, not randomly on civilians who had nothing to do with their grievances.
But really, we don't even celebrate Hitler's and Mussolini's deaths; maybe they are too recent in our memories.
You know, we've had some foiled attacks in the US; why can't we celebrate them with firecrackers?

so which you prefer a Catholic Monarch dictated to the individuals of england by potential of the Pope, and no Parliament. it quite is trouble-free sufficient, yet don't be shocked if i be attentive to you're an fool, James 1st & 6th became into between the main found out Monarchs we've had and wrote a polemic against smoking and tobacco, which became into stated for its perspicacity in figuring out that it could reason wellbeing problems. Guido Fawkes needed no longer basically to repair Catholicism (which might mean many greater unfavorable women human beings being burned on the stake than have been) yet additionally to wreck Parliament, which even lower back then became into far greater representative of the English human beings than something (different than for Iceland and the Isle of guy) interior the international. His effigy it quite is eponymous (each and every schoolboy different than IDIOTS knew that) is burnt for being none English in Nature, that James' Son became into to benefit the stressful way approximately Parliament, basically shows what an fool he became into.

Maybe we should change the name from Guy Fawkes night to Bin Laden night. Then we could put an effigy of him on top of all the bonfires and incinerate him. Sounds ok to me

It is odd to me, but I don't think they'd be called terrorists more like anarchists. To me it would be like celebrating Benedict Arnold Day in the USA. Maybe they could eat Eggs Benedict or something.
