You don't get it, you can't brand anything 'crazy' or make it sound like people live in their own world, thats OPINION. There is NO way to prove with FACT that the IRA are not the army of what they consider Ireland, because there is no all Ireland government. The UK govt can say they are 'terrorists' the govt of the repub. of Ireland can call them 'terrorists' but based on what they consider Ireland, that means nothing. Imagine a country that is made up of two provinces, a and b they have some sort of a 2 level government a federal govt and two provincial govts, the federal govt says that some group is there official army, but then this federal govt goes on vacation for the summer, then the governments of a and b decide that the same group is not the army of their country, but they obviously cannot make that decision, its the same thing.
