Pooka, The organisations you listed have as much to offer the world as Al qaeda and Bin Laden has and that is only death to the innocents of the world. It saddens me that Sept11 was a precursor to the Executive Order and I am grateful that people have turned their backs on such fund raisers, but it still occurs.

We are not some wee country to patronised on St.Paddys day and get the emotions going about poor ol Ireland,having terrorists at the head of the St.Patricks parade make me wonder if American people want to see peace in Ireland.
