So they were not convicted by a court of law then?
Just sentenced to summary execution by whom?

They were given a "full Military honours" funeral by the IRA attended by prominant Sinn féin menbers!

Ans what crime did the shoppers commit! apart from wanting to purchase some fish!

They were on a "mission" to kill as many innocents as possible in Gibraltar - this has been accepted by Sinn Fein/IRA.

What - wait until they kill innocents like Garda Jerry McCabe and then act.

A lot different from Saturday morning shoppers on the Shankill.

Wow, are you really comparing this to the bombing that killed a couple of children?

Seriously lads. FFS. It's a thread about a stupid hypothetical battle between the IRA and the Taliban. Leave the serious stuff at the door.

This conversation hasn't changed since 1916 and even before that. It seems that the people trying to liberate our nation have always come under the fire and opinion of Irish citizens, but when victory is won and history is written them brave men will be praised.

The winning side always write the history books! Rightly or otherwise.

Question: war won/Lost or still ongoing!!!

Edit: Ira -V- Talaban of course, not the nordy bunfight!

The men who have been remembered are the ones who looked to secure an independent Irish state/Irish autonomy through democratic means.
People like John Hume, Charles Stewart Parnell and Daniel O'Connell.
Not the ones you talk about who defend the murder of innocents.

Once again, the topic is IRA -vs- Taliban.

And there is the reason why the SAS will never win an election in Ireland?

Am I imagining things or was there ever a cartoon with "James Bond jnr" in Ireland, actually speaking Irish?

I read the first page of this thread (serious thanks being given out there and deservedly so) and then jumped to the last comment.

Great stuff. From the IRA vs The Taliban to "Was there ever a James Bond Jnr cartoon in Irish?"

Boards is great sometimes.

I hear the ending is an epic battle between Michael Collins VS Osama Bin Laden. 20 minutes of graphic Roshambo right there...

So Michael Collins, Wolfetone, De Valera, Harry Boland etc must not be remembered seeing as they killed people also?

Nah they're not really remembered because lets face facts, they all failed on the independance front.

Thanfully, men like Dan Breen and Tom Barry are remembered now because they succeeded where peace huggers failed. Mostly by being willing to shoot whoever needed shooting to get the job done and not worrying about what her majestys' royal irish order of uncle tom's might think of it.

or like Loughgall, and yeah very brave blowing up Mountbatten a man who loved Ireland and spent his holidays here. He died fishing on a boat on a lake.

Did you know that Tom Barry served in the British Army?
As did James Connolly.........what was that.....uncles toms?

Would you include Detective Garda Jerry McCabe as someone who needed to be shot because they got in the way of human vermin who draped themselves in a Tricolour....or the two boys - one a local Sligo lad - who were murdered on the boat with Mountbatten - ah yes, uncle toms.

The reality is that the type of northern nationalist that people in the Republic want to associate with is represented by John Hume and not Gerry Adams.

I was reasonable amused by the daftness of the program.
However was wonderfully entertained by the usual muppets who genuinely considered this to be the appropriate place for "Raa goooddd" Vs "Raa Baddd" 'intellectual debate'. Looks like some boardies have finally found a thread of appropriate stature to continue their never ending debate..., albeit accidentally...., but I really can't think of a more appropriate thread for them to reside...

conchubhar1
