I wonder if many Americans have taken up collections for the IRA over the past couple of weeks. For those who don't know, the IRA is the Irish Republican Army which is a terrorist organisation which bombs men, women and children who are tourists or otherwise quietly going about their business. Americans have naively financed their 'freedom fight'.

I imagine that a lot of Irish Americans have developed a sudden awareness of the human cost of sectarian violence and terrorism. Perhaps not, because religious zealots seem to have their brains disconnected from reality and they might have trouble understanding the parallel with the WTC bombing [the IRA are genuine cowards - no suicide bombing for them though happily quite a few of them have blown themselves up by mistake].

I wonder if Arab Americans would get the approval of Irish Americans if they said they were sending money to Osama bin Laden to continue his freedom fight for Saudi Arabia, Palestine and fundamentalist medieval Islamic rule across the Moslem world. I wonder what the Irish Americans [like Bill Clinton] would say if approached by Arab Americans to support the cause.

One person's freedom fight is another's mass murderer. Remember Omagh. It seems the USA money is at work bombing people in England just a couple of weeks before WTC. guardian.co.uk

Perhaps Irish Americans would please refrain from causing more mayhem and murder by telling the next IRA collector to take a hike [and perhaps reporting them to the FBI].
