Which IRA are you refer- ing to? The British Army was originally sent to Northern Ireland to defend the Catholic minority from Protestant violence! There was a group of the Catholic population which resented that. (I don't know why, maybe they had a martyr complex.) They were propbably provoking the Protestant violence. The most active group of Irish "Nationalists" is the INLA (Irish National Liberation Army). They support the overthrow of British rule in Northern Ireland, THEN the overthrow of the democratically elected government in the Republic of Ireland, and the replacement of that government with a vanguard of socialism to build Ireland into a Democratic Socialist Republic, along the lines of East Germany. If you want that, go give your money to Noraid.
