It would be indeed be a dark day in history if this became commonplace in the US.
But would America in majority agree with its so called “freedom fighters” ?

I'm sure if the IRA wanted to distance themselves from these guys, they could do so fairly easily.
How do you stop any one person or persons from declaring their act of terrorism was conducted in the name of the IRA or any other group?
For all we know, the two gunmen were Islamic "radicals."

"Islamic radicals" would get a lot more bang for their buck an hour away in the UK.

My point is that no one knows who the perps were or their motive. Period.

The article said they have no ides who did this, only that they suspected the IRA.
Seems convenent to blame them, not unlike Clintom blaming Rush for the OK city bombing.

If the British were in my town, I’d do everything to get them out.

I love Ireland but would never visit Northern Ireland.
Give me Cork, Kilarney or Limerick any day.

This kind of stuff happens when the economy tanks. Look at Mexico. What will our people do when they don’t have jobs and still have to feed their families?

If you are following world events you may have noticed a growing push against socialism.

You’re welcome, and he’s been right about the IRA all along.

Those photos are very enlightening. It seems that N.Ireland has its share of terrorist sympathizers, too.
In fact, this recent attack may be the work of Jihadists.

This is carved in stone over one of the entrances to the DOJ in DC.
“Repression breeds violence”
Over another door it reads,
“Where justice ends, tyranny begins”
The question to ask yourself is do any of these sayings apply to conservatives right now in America?
And if so, what are we to do about it?

Murdering soldiers is fighting against socialism....
You’re already worthless point is rendered even more so by the fact that the Irish Republicans who did so are almost certainly hardcore socialists themselves...
To: Porterville
Most people in Northern Ireland wish to remain in the UK. As such, your opinion on the matter counts for jack s**t....
To: stockpirate
Irish republicans are divided into many factions. Almost all of them socialist to one degree or another. The Irish National Liberation Army is probably the most left wing of these....
To: Palladin
It seems that N.Ireland has its share of terrorist sympathizers, too. Speaking of which, is Ted Kennedy dead yet?

I actually enjoyed Scotland more than I did Ireland.
