[IRA] Irish Republican Army

If you agree that your views are wrong how can you stand by them? It's like saying "I know it's wrong to stamp on babies but I'll do it anyway and pretend that I agree with it"

Well il put it like this


I think its right for the IRA to fight for our country but I think its wrong that they kill innocent people, but if it all has to come as one I'd choose to follow them.

But it isn't your country

in my opinion, ireland can have their land of potatoes and greenery because it has no use to me, northern ireland can have their land of... potatoes and guiness and big green hats like the one that this man is sporting:

It isn't mine personally but it does really belong to the Irish government and not the British.

If you know the history of your republic you'll know that it wasn't the original country - it's an offshoot of Ireland that the British allowed to be created in order to stop all-out war in the face of guerilla terrorist raids, so no it does not belong to the Irish government.

That makes allot of sense considering the English raided Ireland as I would class a terrorist group, the British killed 200+ IRISH Civilians, at the end of the day, the IRA and the British army have blood on their hands.

Hardly a terrorist.. I'm not part of the IRA I said if they were still around I'd support them and before someone goes off on a mad one again I AGREE the IRA were in the wrong, at times.

If you're already in charge of a country and use force to fight back against a group of radicals who've taken up arms in an attempt to take over, that isn't being a terrorist it's defending your land. You could possibly have reason to call them terrorists if they'd destroyed everything randomly and recklessly to try scaring people into bowing down to them, but trying to keep control of an area that you are already in command of isn't terrorism. Furthermore the English did not raid Ireland, they were already there.

They killed innocent people though.. 'not armed' even children.. how can you class that as defending your land?

They could of easily went around it by forcing the people to move, giving them a chance.
