[IRA] Irish Republican Army

[Black_Apalachi]

I always thought what's the point of th UK governing Northern Ireland but when I was little I remember asking my dad, who was Irish, and he said the people of Northern Ireland want to be part of the UK. As far as the IRA goes, is there any substance in thinking that there's a difference between the original IRA and the modern vigilante type eejits? If not, then the IRA in general is just as bad as Cromwell and what he did to Ireland.

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

What so you reckon the republican insurgents would have just moved on and abandoned the mission if the British had asked them nicely?

Well for one the UK is hardly comparable to Iraq. We aren't imposing some kind of dictatorship on NI. They probably have enough common sense to look beyond senseless nationalism and realise it's far more beneficial to be part of the UK than NI.

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 there wasn't terrorists around they wouldn't of needed to send the army in to restore order, civilian deaths are a sad but inevitable aspect of that. If the IRA weren't there, the deaths wouldn't of happened.

Your views are all over the place, the bottom line is, as a last resort you do support the killing of innocent british civilians and you do sympathise with the IRA, I've safely come to that conclusion after reading all your posts. What right do you have to kill people because we're not returning land to you which isn't yours? The British have been fair and democratic.

When i was young
I had no sense
I bought a flute for 50 pence
the only tune

was **** the vale and the IRA

K then so there's nothing wrong with the EDL? Right?

Yeah I understand because like little kids would of took out machine guns and opened fire on the British.

As you are proving quite finely, children are capable of making the wrong decisions and getting themselves in the way of big issues that they don't understand.

Just to clarify, your saying it was okay that the British killed innocent civilians including young children?

[FlyingJesus]

No I don't think I've ever said anything of the sort.
