There's a big difference between fighting a war and mounting a campaign of terror.

There's a huge difference between being a soldier and being a thug with a gun or a murderer.

The concept that the IRA or any of those groups was fighting a war of independance is laughable at best, mainly because they went after soft unarmed civilian targets.

They were fighting a vendetta, nothing more. They're no better then the thugs that took the planes into the World Trade Center.

They're not soldiers fighting a heroic battle, they're death dealers blowing up pubs and shooting teenagers.
