Yeah...but remember all the shit that the British put the Irish through. It took until the 70's to get one-man-one-vote in Northern Ireland, before then if you owned a house you got a vote, if you owned lots of houses you got lots of votes, and if you didn't you got no votes. This meant that the rich and powerful protestants got all the votes, and the poor catholics had hardly any!
Then there is collusion, ridiculous prejudice etc. Sure the IRA are deplorable, but don't forget the British massacared people at football matches, and Winston Churchill believed the Irish were sub human.

TrueI wasn't denying that. But do you think any of it would have happened if we hadn't treated Ireland like that?
If we'd declared actual war and bombed their cities, do you think the terrorism and the support for terrorism from the populace would have gone up or down?
The whole point of the animation at the start of this thread was that two wrongs do not make a right. Only a fucking idiot would fail to see that.
