    The context of the retraction article that you are replying to should
have made it clear that I was referring to the Provisionals. As stated, I
still support the cause but not the terrorism that is the way of the
Provisional IRA. If your last paragraph was directed towards me then you
didn't read or completely understand my article that made my retraction
necessary. Of course the Irish have been screwed by the British. I was
retracting my support of the Provisional IRA not a united Ireland.
