Would not be surprised.

Martyrs have always been useful to those in charge.

IRA are just a bunch of thugs and who use people to further their own pockets so there fore I would not be surprised at all if this happened

[Tax-chick]

Ireland ping!

[Billthedrill]

Would Adams do a thing like that?

Yes.

[Incorrigible]

And a film is being released this year that will glorify these low-lifes and demonize the very people trying to protect the peace loving populace from terrorist thugs.

Most, if not all, of the Irish I've ever spoken to about this hold Maggie in utter contempt, stating that she allowed Sands et al to die and thought not twice about doing it. As if she was ever responsible for their fate in the first place.
And I wouldn't be surprised in the least to learn that Gerry Adams, a selfish lying cur, used and abandoned his comrades to advance a political agenda.

I cannot envision Margaret Thatcher giving in to the Demands of the IRA.

Instead, she viewed the IRA as a Terrorist Organization.

Thatcher would have never given in to such a demand by Terrorists.

By doing so she would have conceded that the UK was at War with the IRA.

No Way!

a no brainer if you think about it.

Fast forward then 20 years or so, and you will see that Adams and McGuinness (And others) cut their own deals with the British. All of these guys ended up as British agents/informants, in my opinion (not that I care if they betrayed “the cause”)

Of course they did. Every Commie cause needs a martyr. They have to be able to punch the air with their fist and scream a name to remember or they can't feign passion. If they don't get one thru a provoked incident, they create one themselves.

In the past couple years, I’ve said that supermodels look like they are on the Bobby Sands Diet Plan, and very few people seemed to understand what i meant. :(

[Seruzawa]

Weird. I have actual Irish relatives living near Dingle. They really really hate the IRA. Of course, they aren’t Irish-Americans who learn their “facts” secondhand from fundraisers and movies.
