The IRA was around pre WWII and it was communist then. It did split in 1969 into the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA perhaps that is what you mean?

I am excusing no one and that is my point to say "they are just Islamist" and ignore the fact that they are also Communist means that you miss a basic piece of the puzzle.

Let me give you an example.

Russia >>>>Iran<<<<< North Korea<<< China

Russia>>>>Syria

Russia>>>>>Iraq.(Pre OIF)

What is the name that keeps popping up?

Who is supplying these countries with arms, technology and equipment? Why are Russian scientist in all these countries?

From what I have read, the IRA was around prior to and during the 1920s, but having achieved some milestone during that time, it basicly phased out.

I don't get the impression that the IRA of 1969, had any connection to a prior group. It merely took the name.

That's my understanding.
