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. Terry Bermes
