If you mean me, I don’t think I have ever made any link between the IRA and
American-Christians or even Irish-Americans [whatever they are] specifically?
Call me on that if I’m wrong, otherwise I’d appreciate some clarification.
Further, the IRA is not the only terrorist group in Northern Ireland – there
are a number who “fight” for the republican and unionist causes. Your
countrymen fund a good deal of these groups. However, the funding from the USA
is slowing drying for a number of reasons:
1) Your countrymen now understand terrorism a little better.
2) The Good Friday agreement.
3) The IRA’s activities in central America
4) The Real-IRA’s “spectacular” in Omagh
However, I’d agree the IRA is/was by far the most active terrorist group in NI
– accounting for ~1800 deaths. The IRA is also most associated with the USA due
to the alleged activities of “Noraid ” and high profile visits by the IRA’s
political wing [Sinn Fein]. Perhaps the most memorable of these was a 911
fundraiser:

Rather ironic, when one remembers the IRA murdered around 500 civilians.

| (...) Breaking my usual practice of ignoring you and your nonsense, I decided to see how hard it was to clarify this for you. It wasn't hard at all. Using the search string "fund terrorist ireland arthur" it's not too hard to dig up lots of examples (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
