Yeah it's interesting seeing the Views of what actually happened in the UK. My wife is American and her brother is under the dillusion that rather than being a nasty terrorist organisation who tried to pull off terrorist bombings which would have made 9/11 look like a minor incident, the IRA are actually freedom fighters trying to correct a great wrong. He didn't even realise Northern Ireland voted to remain part of the UK after Ireland gained independence. |
And lets not be biased here. The Monaghan bombings by british loyalist terrorists were the worst attrocity in the last 100 years on Irish soil. IRA = sumbags pretending to be Irish and using it as an excuse to cause trouble. UVF/UDA - scumbags that are loyal to the queen and have killed hundreds of people just for being Irish. The difference is, the media don't talk about them. Nowadays they are the equivalent of ghetto thugs and their violence is minor. There are about 20 times more murders in Chicago alone every year than the entirity of the Republic of Ireland. The North isn't much worse either.
History aside, don't tag modern day idiots as "Irish" when they are born in Northern Ireland which is 1/6th of Ireland but claimed by the UK. If it's claimed by the UK then they are from the UK whether it suits or not. If Canadian terrorists were bombing Canada because they wanted to become part of the US, they are still Canadian. Then if US terrorists were killing Candians, they would be US citizens. Why the UK media try to flog it that the UVF and IRA are Irish is beyond me.
