The American "patriots" in 1776 were terrorists to the English too. The English need to get out of Ireland and let them govern themselves. It has work for the USA.

The UK (not English) government would *love* to get out of NI, which costs it an absolute fortune and is no end of trouble. However, that wouldn't solve the problems of NI as there are lots and lots of Unionists there. No-one (alright, very very few people) wants a civil war. So we have to find a solution that both nationalists and unionists can live with.

"""The American "patriots" in 1776 were terrorists to the English too. The English need to get out of Ireland and let them govern themselves. It has work for the USA.""" Substitute "America" for "the English", and "the Middle East" for "Ireland," and your justification for terrorism could havew been spoken by Osama himself. The killers of the IRA - - and the cutthroats in Afghanistan - - thank you.

They don't want to govern themselves. They want Ireland to take them over. Too bad the Irish government doesn't actually want them.

Nice propaganda, though!
