I never did. Someone asked for clarification.

YOu had said that the IRA received support from the USA. I guess we can say that the IRA got support from Britain - since private citiizens in your OWN country supported the IRA - right?

However, would it be more or less than the support that Al-Qaida got from Iraq?

It was the media who harpeed on the Al Qaeda - Iraq link more than the government. Bush several times and said there was no direct evidence of support. But there were training camps and so forth and these were facts.

Ireland was invaded by England and taken over - there is a difference between Texas and Northern Ireland. We did win Texas during a war - but they chose to become part of the US. Did Ireland ever have a choice to be part of Britain?

I find it rather distrubing the prejudice between catholics and protestants that still exists in Great Britain. And it DOES exist.
