What is not so widely known is that Sinn Feinn / IRA during the 70’s was not only demanding a united Ireland but had ambitions to seize power in Dublin and run Ireland as a Marxist state. This is where the ‘provisionals’ wings of both these organisations differed from the ‘official’ ones, who were simply demanding a united Ireland (and actually called a cease-fire quite early on in the troubles).

The Irish Republican Army goes by many names and they are the protectors of Ireland and her people today. The IRA is not a terrorist organizations. The label terrorist is a English term to describe any one individual who uses force against England’s occupying army.
In other circumstances, ones in which the English are not the recipients of such violence, these people are considered freedom fighters’ their deeds are heroic, and their cause is profound. However, the English are the recipients of such a cause. They are also the reason it is there. Throughout the centuries, the English have been the ones to terrorize the Irish. Eight hundred years of brutal treatment at the hands of the English have forced the people of Ireland to stand up for their right of self-determination and challenge the unlawful English rule in their country. The IRA is standing up for such rights. The IRA has reported several times to newspapers such as Republican News, that they are dedicated to finding a lasting peace in Ireland. The IRA also stands up for the rights of the individual in the North and polices areas the English are too afraid to enter. They protect the common citizen from English sex offenders, thieves, joy riders and other petty criminals who exhibit detrimental behavior that threatens the fabric of Irish life.
The IRA protects the individual Catholic and the rights of all the Irish in the North. Their actions are not out of blood lust, they fight to bring about democracy, justice and freedom the freedom denied their people for centuries.
youre an abserlute muppet arent you !!!!!!

the romantic notion of the bad old days died many years ago.and long may it stay there2 September, 2007 at 10:16 pm #278500Well, I’ve just had a week in Ireland and enjoyed it very much. Friendly people, colourful buildings and beautiful scenery. If I add up my lines of ancestry, I’m about 25% Irish (includes protetants and catholics) but I’d only been to Ireland once before, briefly. I didn’t get to Northern Ireland as intended because of the long extra drive from where we stayed – next time perhaps.
It must be remembered that the British people, so often blamed for repressive actions or neglectful inactions by their ruling class (e.g. Irish Potato Famine), themselves were victims too of their ruling class- like with the terrible exploitation during the industrial revolution, which led to bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, dyptheria, rickets, pneumonia, pneumoconiosis etc. resulting from pollution, bad living and working conditions and poor diet.

27 September, 2007 at 7:50 am #278503Ireland was part of the UK until 1922. Most British people have some Irish ancestry and most Irish people have some British ancestry. We should never hate each other. We can hate SOME Irish people with justification, just as we can with some British people – but because of something they as individuals have said or done.
