Not the IRA that was the IRB, it's the one after the civil war that was the pIRA, CIRA INLA etc. etc.
Essentially
IRB- Freedom Fighters
IRA- later aspect of Freedom Fighters, one side in Civil War
INLA,CIRA,pIRA- the Northern Irish factions under the guise but distinct to the IRA, not connected to IRB.
Well you've just proven your utter ignorance there. If you are accusing me of knowing nothing about internal struggle and state opression you've obviously never considered the history of this country. Millions, and that is no exaggeration died as a result of British Rule. Thousand suffered pograms,rape,beatings,scalpings, murder in broad daylight,having themselves set alight, being worked to death while everyone around them starved to death. Our forces didn't kill non combatants on purpose, the british did, they fought as you fight, kill men women and children in public places but we fought a guerilla and espionage war, we didn't sink to their level and we got our freedom. Those that wouldn't have wanted freedom were already in Northern Ireland and as such we were partitioned. We don't want it back, it's a tax burden and the northies are assholes but that's beside the point.
1920 you became a british mandate, i don't know what you would term the Muslim/Persian w/e rule but if we take 90 years ago as the true start of all this then you don't know shit compared to 700 years of it. I live in a free country today because people like you failed in your aims. The british didn't want to negotiate, they tried to call us murderers but it was they that killed the innocents and their barbarism not ours that turned the tide of public opinion against them. I resent you and JBF trying to cheapen their noble sacrifice. It is the suicide bombers et al (and Mossad) that are Cowards
