Saw this on the news last night,

Basically the Yanks have decided that their policy on the middle east of getting stability at the expense of democracy was wrong so we will now force democracy on everyone. WTF? Who voted them world police?

Odds on them declaring war on the next oil rich state? I don't think you'll make much money on it.

just about right that entwi,over the years theve funded every evil sod under the sun,then invaded when they get shat on by the evil git.but not to worry if they go to war again,most casualties are friendly fire anyway.

Let's make a little distinction here between making official governmental donations to the IRA and having some of your 'Irish American' citizens giving their money to the cause. There is a difference. If you were to ask most US citizens if they thought that some of their fellow Americans ever gave money to support the IRA they would look at you as if you were crazy. Believe me, most of them have no idea that went on at all. I'm pretty sure that there are plenty of ethnic British Citizens funding terrorism now. They would be the ones that danced in the street and burned American flags on 9/11. Incidentally, if any of our posters have ever used illegal drugs (and I'll bet a goodly proportion have smoked pot at some time) they too have funded terrorism. Sad world eh??
