I misunderstood you, sorry - there are some here on FR who do support the 'Ra! I see no real difference between the the loyalists and the the Provos!
I met a Irish lady in New Zealand one time that felt the same way. That is why she moved to New Zealand.
The IRA supporters always try to say that all loyalist were put in Ireland by the English. If you look at a time line of the English and Scottish going to Ireland you find out it is about the same or prior to Ireland, Scottland, and England moving into North America.
Yes, the 'usual suspects' are strangely absent from this thread. They probably feel that their 'heros' are letting them down.
