They however are not as organised, are not involved in large scale organised crime, do not export terror to other nations (Columbia) do not have extensive funding networks in the US and do not attack civilian targets away from Northen Ireland.

As a proponent for law and order I can't support terrorism of any kind, anywhere. The RUC and other loyalist groups do get funding from Great Britain. (Don't we send GB foriegn aid?) I'll probably get flamed for this one, but here goes... The SAS, rather than acting as a military force, has long been used in the six counties as a terror organization in its own right. They are definitely funded by GB.

England most certainly does attack civilian targets away from NI. They have for centuries.

I believe the only solution is to get effective law enforcement operating fairly for both sides. Haven't the majority always voted for an end to the violence?

No, the US does not send aid to the US. Why would it ? Where is the famine ? It does participate in joint military activities, if thats aid then the UK sends aid to the US as well.

The loyalist groups do not attack civilian targets away from NI.

The UK does engage in warfare during which civilians get killed. So does the US, and pretty much every other country in the world. What is your point ?

The RUC doesn't get funding from the UK. It doesn't exist. The Police Service of Northern Ireland does receive funding. Its the police. How would it exist, without funding ?

The SAS is part of the army. They on occasion have killed terrorists. My only regret is that they didn't kill more of them. Problem ? Try not to cry over your terrorists graves too much.

If you think that the UK having an army and police force in the UK justifies the IRA training columbian nacro-terrorists you are dellusional.

The UK hasn't done anything in NI that any other country wouldn't have for the last 100 years. It isn't doing anything different to what the US and UK is currently doing in Iraq. The supporters of the terrorists in Iraq justify their actions with the same logic you have used here.
