Very well stated, and I would like to add, that this
same sentiment that I have concerning the Protestant
English coming over and taking a portion of Ireland
for themselves. If the Irish don’t like it, get an
Army and kick the limeys out. But it looks like
they only have enough balls to blow up women
and children on a public bus. How macho is that?

And some would say they had an army - the Irish Republican Army.

How successful is that? I don’t believe that people who believe they are oppressed care about being macho so much as killing and overthrowing their oppressors. If America was invaded tomorrow and millions of people stole the land and oppressed us, you can bet that many Americans would be more than happy to resort to blowing up women and children to change that. I still have not seen evidence - not at all - that blowing up women and children was actually a policy or tactic of the IRA or even their more violent step-children. Do you know of any such evidence?
