Tiocfaidh, why do you have so much difficulty in believing that IRA/Sinn Fein ever did anything wrong ? Is it becauce Gerry Adams says so ?
I can admit that the British government have committed great crimes against Ireland and the Irish people but one crime doesn't excuse another and IRA/Sinn Fein are not so stupid to believe that they can do what the British government couldn't ie. bomb and terrorise people into submission.

If a united Ireland was achieved tommorrow IRA would have no reason to exist, they only exist for their own sake.
