Why don't we ever ask them to give Northern Ireland back to the Irish?

That would help diffuse terrorism. It's worth remembering that the IRA helps train with the middle east terror groups. Eliminating the grievance of the IRA might help the global war against terror.

We never say beans to these people, but they are always taking us (only Republican administrations) to task.

What about all the Irish catholic "militants" who get the death penalty with the approval of the British government?

The people of NI are free to choose to rejoin Ireland, as are the people of Hawaii free to leave the US if they wanted. So far the majority don't want to. If we gave NI back to Ireland against the wishes of the people, the terrorism would start afresh against the new government...
