How many of you really know what the IRA stands for?  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.
