Re: Irish americans
Hey Hitch..
I really like England. I have made two trips to London is the last year and found it one of the best places possible to visit. Best Indian food I have ever eaten. A very civil society. When I was in Iraq I was fortunate enough to work with the British and Australians and found them very competent, efficient and cordial. I would only fly into and out of Baghdad with the British. If I could actually afford to live in London, I would.
I have to disagree on supporting the IRA or any other group. Think about it. Do Jews in America support the Israelis even though they may be many generations removed from Israel? Hell yes they do. Terrorism is horrible no matter who is behind it. Think about this though. Your country is occupied. You have limited arms, men and other resources. How do you, through diplomacy, regain control of what was and is your country? Terrorism is a form of war that has always been practiced. You could call the fire bombing of Japan Terrorism by todays standards. I call it using what is available to force action. Unfortunately violence solves everything even today.
