The IRA didn't use OUR planes as missiles on OUR soil and kill thousands of innocent people who decided to go to work one day, or decided to take a plane for business or to go home. The IRA isn't going after westerners and calling it a holy war. The IRA doesn't stretch from the middle east to the united states, blowing all kinds of shit up inbetween. Most importantly, the IRA doesn't plan on obtaining chemical or biological weapons to use on everybody that "threatens their way of life".
Nobody was threatening anybody's way of life until 4 planes crashed in NY, DC, and Pennsylvania. Anybody remember that? Or is that day clouded by this war that y'all disagree with? Poor extremists, we should just pat them on the shoulder and say..."It's ok that you fucks killed thousands in New York, we forgive you...try not to let it happen again, mmmmm k?" FUCK NO...you blow shit up in our country, then scream out HOLY WAR, what do you expect us to do? They said WAR, so it's all out fuckin war...no holds barred.
When did the IRA do something like that? When was the last time the IRA murdered that many people with one shot?
