"IRA are not so stupid to believe that they can do what the British government couldn't ie. bomb and terrorise people into submission." But they did exactly that, eric.... Bomb the British to the table And a United Ireland is just around the corner.

Whoever else may have carried this out, eric (and others) it was not done in the name of a United Ireland. Ergo it was not The IRA Naiveté is one thing eric. Pure ignorance is a different matter altogether. As far as the average Brit wanting to 'wash their hands of Ireland'--, that wouldn't have happened without a successful Armed Struggle. Painful to admit, eric, but true nonetheless. Makes you sick, doesn't it?
