"When the IRA explodes a terrorist bomb in London, considering that most of IRA funding comes from Boston, should England commence a bombing raid on Boston?" in your little scenario, is the IRA leader hiding in boston, conducting television interviews condemning england's government and threatening to do further damage, and are there IRA soldiers there in boston who are in control of 90% of the city? oh, and did the terrorist bomb kill 6,000 londoners? oh yeah, and does england give boston plenty of time to hand over the IRA leader, and they fail to comply? oh yeah, is this IRA terrorist from boston responsible for previous attacks on england, either in london or someplace else?

considering that most of IRA funding comes from Boston I have always been under the strong impression that the large majority of IRA funding (IRA meaning the Provisional Irish Republican Army'; the 'Real Irish Republican Army'; the 'Continuity Irish Republican Army' and the 'Irish Nationalist Liberation Army) is/has been supplied by their "participation" in organized crime. Libya has been held responsible for supplying many of their weapons and explosives, while Irish-American groups, many of whose members reside in Boston, are an important source of contributions. To name Boston as the predominate source of funding for the IRA is most likely an incorrect statement. DT
