No, sir, this comment is disgusting.  You offer not one scintilla of evidence for the claims you make, nor do you site one example of factual error in the article.  All you have to offer are your recycled opinions about the Irish Republican movement.  You have nothing new, or even interesting, to say.  I always love it when armchair opponents of the I.R.A. jump up on their high horse and begin pontificating, because, almost without exception, they say something like this: "Whatever the crimes of the British government...", as though it is reasonable and proper to dismiss 800 years of oppression, murder, starvation, and constant meddling on the part of the Brits so that one may then attack the excesses of the Republicans, who have been fighting to kick the Brits out.  Let's see, 800 years of oppression on the part of the Brits, vs. the just over 80 years that the I.R.A. has existed, and you, in all of your wisdom decide that the 'R.A. is worse.  Go pound your chest elsewhere. -
