Tiocfaidh ár lá, my friend! Soarse go Deo! 26 + 6 = 1! I fully support Sinn Fein and their goals. Wait, I'm hijacking my own thread, aren't I... I'm just proud to be Irish-American and disgusted by the fact that the Brits have shat all over Ireland for 850 some-odd years. Get the hell out of the 6 occupied counties.

I'm disgusted by all of those in the North who decide that killing each other is the way to further their aims.
I'm disgusted by those who believe violence is the route to a United Ireland, despite a significant majority in the North do not want this.
I'm disgusted by arms-length financing of murder and mutilation.
I'm disgusted by Sinn Fein members refusing to call the disappearance, murder, and hidden burial of an innocent mother of ten a crime.
I'm disgusted by those who kneecap others purely on basis of religion.
I'm disgusted by those who perpetuate hatred because of historical injustice, hundreds of years in the past.
I'm disgusted that my best friends father decided that it was in the interests of the irish people to kill 29 innocents.
I'm disgusted by the Irish people for electing known criminals.
I am disgusted by people who believe a country is worth killing innocent people for.

*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....

This is why..... the orginal topic.... is usually not a good idea for a forum post. It will soon become a flame war. Best to lock it now.

Wait, no, I like our Northern Ireland conversation. I was actually going to make a seperate thread before I saw the opportunity in here to make a comment

. It's my thread, and I don't really mind. I actually like it.

My dad was Protestant.

My Mom Catholic.

My wife is Jewish.

And I live in the U.S. where there is freedom of religion.

I work for a faith based Non profit organization called the Volunteers of America. This orginization does not seek to impose a specific religious belief just as I do not.

As for my view, I am intolerable of religious intolerance and I believe in god and not religion is my god.
