This still does not answer my question: WHY THE H_LL ARE YOU POSTING THIS SH_T IN NET.NLANG.CELTS AND NET.LEGAL ? Also, somehow the doings of British mercenaries (who, by definition, do not work for the British government) don't appear to be relevant to the discussion about who's killed more people the IRA or the British Army. Personally, I think IRA is ahead by a wide margin, but they'll, I'm sure, credit some of those to the British. As to the British civil war, aren't the catholics and protestants fairly keen on killing each other off in Northern Ireland (right now, not 300 years ago)? Grow up, Joe, and limit your postings to net.flame (and net.politics if you REALLY want). Otherwise we'll have to create a net.terrorism just for you to post the latest accomplishments of the IRA. (Incidentally, at least initially, they claimed 'credit' for the hotel bombing...) Disclaimer: I'm not British, I'm not even a monarchist (even if I am a Canadian), and I particularly don't like the British Army. I'll take them over IRA any day, though.
