Yes fuck all terrorists.....including the Pro-British/anti-IRA groups that sprung up that also bombed and murdered civilians.
I don't care for the IRA, however it's funny how many people forget about the Pro-British groups that did exactly the same thing at the same time. Also while I don't agree with the methods, the Brits deserved an ass-whooping for some of the shit they did before it all really "kicked off" so-to-speak. Ireland and Britain is kind of like Europe's middle east. They'll probably always go at it to some degree, just sit back and watch. |

Whatever legitimacy the IRA had was lost when they began associating with known terrorist groups, the Nazis, the communists, and when they began targeting tourists and other civilians.

Quoted:
Also, most do not know that Ireland was neutral in WWII. Neutral in name only. Both Germans and Brits that strayed into Ireland were sent to Irish POW camps. The British built a weather station/ radio direction finding facility on Malin Head in Ireland. Where they actively stationed troops. Then there's the Cranborne report: Viscount Cranborne, the British Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, wrote a letter on 21 February 1945 to the British War Cabinet regarding Irish-British collaboration during 1939–1945:[48] “They agreed to our use of Lough Foyle for naval and air purposes. The ownership of the Lough is disputed, but the Southern Irish authorities are tacitly not pressing their claim in present conditions and are also ignoring any flying by our aircraft over the Donegal shore of the Lough, which is necessary in certain wind conditions to enable flying boats to take off the Lough. 1) They have agreed to use by our aircraft based on Lough Erne of a corridor over Southern Irish territory and territorial waters for the purpose of flying out to the Atlantic. 2) They have arranged for the immediate transmission to the United Kingdom Representative's Office in Dublin of reports of submarine activity received from their coast watching service. 3) They arranged for the broadening of reports by their Air observation Corps of aircraft sighted over or approaching Southern Irish territory. (This does not include our aircraft using the corridor referred to in (b) above.) 4) They arranged for the extinction of trade and business lighting in coastal towns where such lighting was alleged to afford a useful landmark for German aircraft. 5) They have continued to supply us with meteorological reports. 6) They have agreed to the use by our ships and aircraft of two wireless direction-finding stations at Malin Head. 7) They have supplied particulars of German crashed aircraft and personnel crashed or washed ashore or arrested on land. 8) They arranged for staff talks on the question of co-operation against a possible German invasion of Southern Ireland, and close contact has since been maintained between the respective military authorities. 9) They continue to intern all German fighting personnel reaching Southern Ireland. On the other hand, though after protracted negotiations, Allied service personnel are now allowed to depart freely and full assistance is given in recovering damaged aircraft. 10) Recently, in connection with the establishment of prisoner of war camps in Northern Ireland, they have agreed to return or at least intern any German prisoners who may escape from Northern Ireland across the border to Southern Ireland. 11) They have throughout offered no objection to the departure from Southern Ireland of persons wishing to serve in the United Kingdom Forces nor to the journey on leave of such persons to and from Southern Ireland (in plain clothes). 12) They have continued to exchange information with our security authorities regarding all aliens (including Germans) in Southern Ireland. 13) They have (within the last few days) agreed to our establishing a Radar station in Southern Ireland for use against the latest form of submarine activity. |

Here is where the Israel nuthuggers running off Vito was a tragedy. Only in GD can you be labelled a bigot for not hating one group of people and not liking another. He wasn't either.

Some people weren't smart enough to reconcile the well reasoned opinions he put forth. "Heretic, you will accept the world is flat." Site has been kinda lame without him. |

During the next half millenium, successive English rulers attempted to colonize the island, pitching battles to increase their holdings – moves that sparked periodic rebellions by the Irish. As the English gradually expanded their reach over the island by the 16th century, religious persecution of Catholic Irish grew – in particular after the accession of Elizabeth I, a Protestant, to the throne in 1558. Oliver Cromwell's subsequent siege of Ireland in 1649 ended with massacres of Catholics at Drogheda and Wexford and forced the resettlement of thousands, many of whom lost their homes in the struggle. By 1691, with the victory of Protestant English King William III over the Catholic forces of James II, Protestant supremacy in Ireland had become complete. Catholics in Ireland suffered greatly in the subsequent period of British occupation, enduring laws that prevented them from bearing arms, holding public office and restricting their rights to an education. While many of those rights were eventually restored, the animosity between Catholics and Protestants remained. With the passing of the Act of Union in 1800, a law that joined England and Ireland as one, the island became officially governed by London. |

I don't care for the IRA, however it's funny how many people forget about the Pro-British groups that did exactly the same thing at the same time. Also while I don't agree with the methods, the Brits deserved an ass-whooping for some of the shit they did before it all really "kicked off" so-to-speak. Ireland and Britain is kind of like Europe's middle east. They'll probably always go at it to some degree, just sit back and watch. I think the Baltics are more what you'd call Europe's Middle East. Ireland and GB are more Cowboys and Indians.

Also, most do not know that Ireland was neutral in WWII. Neutral in name only. Wife's grandpa was in Irish Army and was part of D-Day. A 3x POW also in the war. He was also the reason Guinness is in the US. Dude had zero problem telling anyone to fuck off in his thick Irish accent and had some crazy stories. DAMN, get him on Youtube, talking about importing Guiness w/ his thick brogue. Any war stories he wants to tell will be icing on the cake. |
