    A greater evil? Is there a hierarchy of evilness then that somehow excuses the countless atrocities the IRA carried out?

    The loyalists carried out some horrific acts, but don't for one minute try and pretend the IRA didn't.

    Fred move on the war is over, who did what and what did who, it has been the same old story you and others keep on posting. The people have been able to move on, why do you try and do the same, whether GA was in the IRA or not is immaterial, the time is now not back then. Take it on board or stay in your own dead end street. Life is out there for us all, not for recriminations. After the second WW the German Luftwaffe were flying for NATO within 2 years at the end of the war.

    How would you describe someone who detonates a bomb outside a McDonald's on a Saturday lunch time?

    Explain to me how that protected Catholics?

    Was that the british bombing on O.Connell St, Dublin in the 70's?

    An excuse?

    Would that be the same type of excuse as your labelling of the IRA as ''terrorist scum'' in light of the invasion of their homeland by imperialists?

    You would know all about that,

    How would you feel about the actions of the british secret service carrying out bank robberies across Ireland.

    Unfortunately BF, there are kids who seem to think it was some sort of Hollywood good v bad thriller and people are filling their heads with the notion it was good fun.

    There was no moral high ground or winners and losers in the troubles, with the.exception of.the decent people who finally got the peace they deserve.

    Maybe you could answer the.question then. I consider someone who bombs a pub, shopping centre, restaurant etc as terrorist scum.

    What would you call them?

    How can grown men throw stones at children in the first place.

    You obviously condone this behaviour!

    Bombing Dublin was an act of terrorism I agree.
