True, it could have been resolved a lot sooner by peaceful means.

You can send a "report abuse" to the moderator regarding a headline correction, and the will usually take care of it for you.

Yeah, and even if it wasn't, still doesn't justify them, it's another reason to hate them, I guess! :)

I'm tempted not to bother seeing as it's 6 months old... but seeing as I'll be most likey reporting abuse on #39, I might do it then! :-P

Terrorism is terrorism. The IRA is no better than the nutcases who blow up abortion clinics.

...do you unequivically condemn all IRA activity?

If the answer is anything other than a simple 'yes', you are a troll, end of story!

And Gráinne has no tolerance for trolls

I do not condemn ALL IRA activity, no.

I condemn attacks on civilian targets.

I don't condemn attacks on legitimate military targets.

The IRA conducted attacks on military targets. The IRA also conducted attacks n civilian targets. Those attacks were reprehensible.

The British Army, Ulster forces and Loyalist groups almost exclusively attacked civilian targets.

I know.

Childish fingerpointers who excuse terrorism clearly know less about the sufferings of the people living in Ireland outside the Republic than someone whose family has suffered the effects.

Take your justifications for murder and shove them where the sun don't shine.
