It gets a little tiresome having to educate people on the history of the "troubles" in Ireland but I will once again try to enlighten you. For 700 years that's right SEVEN ZERO ZERO YEARS long before the United States of America existed, the Irish have been invaded, slaughtered, murdered, raped and pillaged by the British and during the famine of the 1840's crops that were grown in Ireland were shipped to England leaving the Irish to starve to death. You people in America have enjoyed freedom and self-determination for over 225 years and I don't see any of you calling the American revolutionaries "terrorists" and they were fighting the same country that the Irish have been fighting for seven centuries. So before you so cavalierly call the Irish Republican Army "terrorists" let me remind you that the Irish did not invade England. The Irish did not slaughter, murder, rape and plunder England. The Irish are fighting for their lives, liberty and survival. So you tell me who are the real "terrorists?" Erin Go Braugh!

That's bullshit, and you know it.

Terrorists are those who murder innocent civilians and police.

That includes the UDF and the IRA.

Yes, YOUR IRA.

You're either with the terrorists or with us.

Which is it, Mickey?

I love your mastery of the english language and your lack of refuting any of the facts.

I posted as many "facts" as you did (zero). You throw out a bunch of dates, surrounded by your opinions, and call those "facts"?

I know what goes on in Northern Ireland. Innocent civilians get blown up, by groups purporting to represent Protestants and Catholics.

I'm continually amazed at how much you IRA supporters sound like Al-Qaeda.

I'm half Irish.

The IRA plants bombs that are intended to kill civilians.

So go screw yourself.

The IRA is nothing but a bunch of blood thirsty cowards.

While we are at war with terrorism, how do you define a target of opportunity? Better duck HEFFERNAN2 YOU'RE NEXT!
