No, and I've been saying so for 3 pages. Try reading the whole thread.

Obviously at this point in time, like I've already mentioned about 10 times, there is no war and most of the British/Protestants are deeply entrenched in society and if British rule was gone then they'd likely live in harmony.

Not sure how many more times I have to repeat myself.
I don't support the terrorist actions, but there are a lot of angry people because they feel the British are in their territory. The British could have left a long time ago and let Ireland live in peace.
I am well aware that there are thousands upon thousands of Protestants/British in N Ireland. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS. They are just people, they didn't occupy Ireland, they just live there. It is the British government and loyalists that I have a problem with. People who think it is their right and has been for all of time to occupy other peoples land because of a mandate from god, or however they choose to justify it.
Little can be done now. Again, I've said this about 5 times now. Petty violence won't help. Only diplomatic action will reunite Ireland.
All I want is for the British government to give N Ireland back to the Republic of Ireland. End of story.
