*Gulp* ... Let me try to make things a bit more clear. I fully support the cause of Sinn Fein. I DO NOT SUPPORT THE MEANS BY WHICH THAT CAUSE IS PREACHED AND CARRIED OUT. I don't care who you are, where you're from, Protestant, Catholic -- The terrorism must stop. I fully agree with you. Innocents do not need to die over such a fight. Whether it's the PIRA, Loyalist paramilitaries, the RAC, the British Army... They've all had their share of atrocities during the current times and the "Troubles." The killing must stop. The death must stop. That's where Sinn Fein come in. The PIRA are letting up on the bloodshed, and Sinn Fein is carrying out the cause through political, non-violent means. I just think it would be wonderful to see Ireland free. However, no terrorism is good, and I fully agree with Tchocky on that fact... Supporting the IRA or any sectarian paramilitary for that matter, is just as bad as supporting Al Quaida or Hezbollah.

Oh, and by the way, I'm sure the nationalists have much more to be angry over than just old grievences. For example, the RAC firing into a crowd of peaceful NICRA protestors who simple wanted to enjoy the same rights as their British fellows. Wasn't so long ago, was it....
