'We’ve always wondered why the IRA and its splinter groups have avoided mention in our War Against Terror'

I expect it is because there is a war of terror on going over there between catholics and protestants.

When i asked a sympathizer of ira why the ira do not put down arms.. i get the reply that they cannot , once unarmed they will be killed one by one. Since , i do not know the living environment in northern Ireland i am at a loss to understand the problem other than lack of trust and mostly they hate each other.

Another response i get is what we read is from English papers and America papers. ouch.. i cannot believe what i read in nyt , wp, etc how can i argue that we do not hear the other side of the story except from the English press.

I believe the ira are terrorist, taught the middle east in bomb making and in south america appear to have sold themselves to support of terror. It also appears they still do have some support as mentioned in the article from American sources.

bush, hopefully will keep Gerry Adams out of the white house and at some time more people in northern ireland will protest the ira.

Maybe northern ireland people will take to the streets like other parts of world are doing to bring peace and freedom from terror.
