A shame he wasn't in the Twin Towers to experience terrorism personally <A friend of mine who has made oblique hints that he used to be part of the IRA stated that he respected (but strongly disagreed) with the "iron lady". People tend to respect strength and "cajones". > The USA has now, finally, and belatedly, made supporting IRA terrorists unpopular. There is some rich irony in the 911 attacks. The IRA had links with terrorists in Arab states which enabled each to develop, acquire and deploy various techniques. Each sees themselves as "freedom fighters" which they are not. Gerry Adams and his murderous mates are not interested in freedom. They are simply chimpoid apes who want to be alpha male themselves, getting the money and the girls. "Irish"-Americans, who are not really Irish, but like to adopt a fashionable identity, and more likely simply Catholics fighting a medievil religious war, as conducted in Orange, Uzes and such odd places centuries ago [as I learned when hanging out in the area last year]. So, I was pleased to see IRA supporters go down in the Twin Towers. Each of them was an innocent person who didn't. There was also rich irony that the Bin Laden buddies of the Bushes were free to fly, [the coop], while Americans were not after 911. The whole conflict is like a Shakespearian tragedy, with father against son against friend against friend's brother, with all wanting to be king and all sorts of internecine conflict, grabbing the oil, the money, the power, the girls. We can go back to the USA supporting Osama's lot against Gorby. Talk about stupid! Imagine supporting pretty much anyone against Gorby. If Raygun had gone gung ho with Gorby, sorted out Afghanistan, and revamped the UN into the New UN, the Twin Towers would still be standing and all would be hunky dory. The USSR might not have turned to a shambles, which contrary to popular mythology was not a good thing. Devolution could have been conducted without collapse. Mqurice
