So, judging by your replies, I take it you have a soft spot for the IRA.

Just curious- How does it make you feel that they are (and have always been) in bed and cavorting with Muslim terrorists who are bent on the destruction of our civilization?

Since you seem to be sympathetic towards the IRA and they, in turn, are sympathetic to the Muslim terrorists, does that not make you a sympathizer of Muslim terrorists?

What sort of interesting psychological contortions do you need to get up to in the sanctity of your thoughts to justify that?

I've lived in Northern Ireland. Enniskillen. I was quite surprised to find out that many of the ones who were the most 'anti-British rule' were also sympathetic towards the Palestinian cause and towards Robert Mugabe. They need to be to be morally consistent don't you see?

The evil Brits ruled Ireland by force. The Irish revolted and eventually a settlement was signed and the Republic of Ireland has always been happy enough with that. But there were those up north who didn't want to give up the 'good fight' and wanted to see the British kicked out all together. So, a bomb here (Omagh) and a bomb there (Enniskillen). Kill some people here, kneecap somebody there. It's all for the cause don't you know? Collateral damage. The thing is, when a nation goes to war, each individual who kills someone from the other nation is doing so under the sanction of their own nation. Who does the f--king IRA represent? They don't represent a nation. They're just out there doing it on their own. This is called murder.

So then we have Zimbabwe- formerly Rhodesia. The mean and evil whites moved into Africa and took the land from the people or so we're led to believe. Robert Mugabe wants to take the land back from the evil whites and give it to the blacks. This coincides quite nicely with what the IRA believe themselves to be doing so hence the sympathy they have towards these groups.

The things is, the IRA were always wrong in what they did and if you ever sided with them, that made you wrong as well. But it was never a big deal until 9/11 and we all had to stop and question what and who we supported or not.

Feminist groups for example. They had a bit of cognitive dissonance going on because of the Taliban. Feminists, obviously, hated the Taliban because of the way they treated women. They wanted something done about Taliban for quite a while. Well, 9/11 happened and we decided to take the Taliban out of the picture in Afghanistan. The problem the feminists had was they are by and large Leftists and therefore cannot approve of anything a radical right-winger like George W Bush might do.

This is what's happening to the supporters of terrorist groups like your IRA (and all their little offshoots). You support them when you shouldn't but you don't want to stop and say you're wrong (which would be the easier and more sensible thing to do) because they're terrorists and terrorism is wrong.

I don't give a flying f--k what Ronald Reagan did or didn't do. We're talking about here and now and these Irish socialists (and don't kid yourself- the IRA are socialist in their philosophy) are off cooperating with Muslim terrorists. Don't be a sycophant for these guys. They're wrong and you're never going to be right in suppporting them. You'll just get dirtier and dirtier by trying to come up with a way to support them and deny support to our enemies. They're in it together. That's what matters and they're in it against us.

Take your pick and spare me any preaching. The only good terrorist- Irish, Muslim, Basque or otherwise- is a dead one. If they took all the members of the IRA (Gerry Adams included) out behind a building and shot them I say 'Good Riddance'. Same to bin Laden and his bunch.
