Subject: RE: BS: Easter Rising - April 24-29, 1916
The IRA wasw a product of the British partitioning of Ireland
Nope the IRA was the product of Sinn Fein's declaration of war in January 1919 and the product of Eamon de Valera's Civil War - Irishmen fighting Irishmen, one group attempting to coerce the other to "their" way.
The track record of the IRA so far has been:
Easter Rising - Failed
Irish War of Independence - Stalemate that resulted in a Peace Treaty that brought about the creation of a 26 county Republic of Ireland and a six county Northern Ireland that wanted to be part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Irish Civil War - Failed
1939-1940 Bombing Campaign - Failed
1956-1962 Border Campaign - Failed
1969-1998 "Troubles" - Failed
Because of the path taken by the Republican Nationalists since 1914 a united Ireland is further away today than it was 102 years ago.
The teaching of myths lays the ground work, proof that it works? Just read your own posts Jim Carroll, neither Keith A or myself have referred to any section of the population as "Blow-In Newcomers" who have no rights - you on the other hand have.
