I don't think it has the capability in the current situation. To tied up elsewhere. More likely that if they did they'd do their best to drag Australia, New Zealand and the UK into the fray. I think Australia would and so would NZ but I think there would be massive outcry. Not sure if the UK would but most likely yes.

No it is not. Why? "Rebellion must have an unassailable base . . . in the minds of men converted to its creed. It must have a sophisticated alien enemy, in the form of a disciplined army of occupation too small to fulfil the doctrine of acreage: too few to adjust number to space, in order to dominate the area effectively from fortified posts. It [the insurgency] must have a friendly population, not actively friendly, but sympathetic to the point of not betraying rebel movements to the enemy. Rebellions can be made by 2 per cent active in a striking force, and 98 per cent passively sympathetic . . . Granted mobility, security . . . time, and doctrine . . . victory will rest with the insurgents, for the algebraical factors are in the end decisive, and against them perfections of means and spirit struggle quite in vain." T E Lawrence (On the invasion of Iraq by the British in 1920) Also in a letter he wrote to The Times the same year.. "The people of England have been led in Mesopotamia into a trap from which it will be hard to escape with dignity and honour," he wrote. "They have been tricked into it by a steady withholding of information. The Baghdad communiqués are belated, insincere, incomplete. Things have been far worse than we have been told, our administration more bloody and inefficient than the public knows . . . We are today not far from a disaster." History repates itself.

QuoteGiven that you refuse the historic past of your own nation, I'm not surprised. Quote I've forgotten more about Irish history than you'll proberbly ever learn,not only have I read it but I've lived it. Yes I've Irish anecestory but that doesn't make me Irish any more than it does you. I'm British. But my family were from Co Tyrone. In light of that and you're support of the mass murder that occured there, all I can say is your ancestors must be totally ashamed of you.

I asked how many days if any you've spent in Ireland and you dodged the question. Also your use here of the future tense 'going' instead of the past tense 'been' is pretty much a give away. Let me remind you then... You're not second generation Irish, you are second generation american, nothing more, possibly nothing less. You weren't born in Ireland, haven't lived there (You would have said by now if you had,) and you're sure as hell not a citizen or even a resident of Ireland. Your father wasn't even Irish. Get a grip old boy. OK let alone the fact that I live in Ireland and have done on and off for the last few years and have Irish ancestory I simply don't believe you, i don't think you've spent a day in the country. Spending pounds Sterling before the Euro were you? Here that often that you forgot to notice the Army isn't on the streets any more or that anything has changed since the potato famine No I suspect your usual holiday destination is under a bridge in Scandinavia waiting for the billy goats gruff. I see you've at least had the decency to get onto Google since you last posted. You very funny man Yet you justify the mass murder of Irish men women children and even unborn children blown to bits in their Irish Catholic Mothers womb by car bombs. Clearly you are a supporter of terrorist organisations that have been declared terrorist organisations even by the US government. if you'd ever been here (which you obviously haven't you'd know that Belfast and Dublin are on the same side of the island and that they are only a hour and a half drive from each other. (Must try harder old bean) As for the connection, its so clearly documented that I'll not even try to explain it again. "Nod and smile, he likes that don't you aged P." (Google it) And people say the americans don't understand irony Clear attempted justification of mass murder of women and children including a pregnant woman http://www.wesleyjohnston.com/users/ireland/past/omagh/dead.html So you believe in what you've said here? So you won't mind if I send below To the families and victims of the bombing along with your e-mail addresses and let you tell them how they deserved it? Maybe they can explain the reality of the situation to you better than I can http://www.omaghbomb.co.uk/contact_us.html When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

I agree I wouldn't want to see them for sale in Dunes for anyone who fancied one, but for people who are cleared to have them for sporting use who are licenced why not? (And if you're from Limerick and don't need one for self defence, then neither does anyone else in Ireland!)

OK, so what I get from your last post is that although you claim to be Irish you've never even been there and for the last two generations your family are in fact ...Americans. Its good to know ones families roots and I can understand the sympathy you feel towards where your family originaly hail from however you're no more Irish than I am a Frenchman. The problem with the decendents of ex-pats of any kind is that there is a tendency to cling with a passion to the values and belifes that your forefathers emigrated with without realising that in the mother country things have and are moving on. Coming from a mixed background which is Asian on one side I see this all to often. Indian families over in the UK are often way more conservative than Indian families in India. Why? Because of a fear of loosing their cultural identity. But keeping hold of uninformed blind hated of the British isn't very healthy or useful. Things have moved on a hell of a long way from the days of the potato famine. There is no compulsion in Northern Ireland for the people to vote for staying British, they're better off than they have been for years and things are getting better. You should try and honour your ancestors by getting on a plane and getting out to Ireland, have a look around and see for yourself whats really going on. Its a beautiful country and the people are fantastic and in the words of Bertie Ahern, "Ireland is at peace" its taken a long time to get there, don't be wishing more suffering on the country. As for armed resistence, that I understand even if I don't always agree with it. However, I'm not talking about attacks on the military. It simply isn't possible to defend the bomb attacks on Omagh, Eniskillen, Warington to name but a few . I suggest you read up on them before trying to justify them as they were nothing short of mass murder of innocents. Also Ireland stopped using Sterling generations before it turned to the Euro. Fine, just don't confuse it with today, because its just that...History. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Oh, I didn't realise that you are Irish, what part of Ireland were you born in? Yes the BRITISH did do some terrible acts in Ireland just as some Irish did some terrible acts in England. I make no excuse for the crimes that the BRITISH commited in Ireland but I'm not stupid enough to hold all Irish responsible for the crimes that were committed outside of Ireland by some Irish against non Irish OR the crimes committed by Irish against Irish. Also Northern Ireland is PART of the United Kingdom and is so because that is the wish of the people of the island of Ireland that live there, they voted to remain British in a democratic vote held last year in the province. (You do belieive in democracy don't you?) That is why we had the Good friday agreement and why Sinn Fein is ruling the north of Ireland along with the Ulster Unionists. Thats why Britan ended operation Banner and decommisioned the military posts and redeployed the troops to other theaters of operations (to support American invasions and occupation around the globe). Pretty funny to hear an american banging on about the injustices of foriegn occupation Actually Ireland uses the Euro and got rid of the Irish Punt years ago and the money in the north of Ireland is minted not by the bank of England but by Ulster Bank and The bank of Ireland. as for the 'King' the only 'King' we've had in my life time was Elvis Mass emigration due to lack of work was responsible for most of the population decline in the last century most of which occured after the Republic of Ireland was established and was ruled by Irishmen. As for poverty Ireland is now a well off country whos people are doing well, I guess you never heard of the Celtic Tiger. True, we've done alot of bad things over the years just as America has and continues to do around the world. But that was in 1845 ad about the same time as americans were commiting the genocide of the Native Americans. I think you'll find that that wasn't Jackee but Oliver Cromwell and the Scots who imigrated to Ireland and whos decendants are now as Irish if not more so than you are an American. No any stand against the Queen and the State is treason, planting bombs that kill innocent civillians men, women and children the majority of whom have been Irish. THATS terrorism. Stop what? Just exactly how many (If any at all) days have you ever spent in Ireland? Thats because you are an american who understands nothing about Ireland or the suffering of the Irish people, not in 1845 but since 1969. To say that and then have the bare faced cheek to say that you care about Ireland is a oxymoron. And if you knew the first thing about Ireland today you'd know that neither are we. In fact even Iain Paisley and Martin McGuinnes are known as the chuckle brothers these days as they're getting along so well. (Google them if you haven't heard of them). Anyway, I've taken enough of your time, so I'll say 'top of the mornin', to yer' and let you get back to learning history by watching 'Far and away'. Ciao!

Having Irish ancestry, the majority of my friends being Irish and now living in the country and on the Island or Ireland on and off for the last two years working to improve the healthcare system of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, the fact that i'm getting married in Ireland next year and will be bringing my children up as Irish you couldn't be more wrong. I'm curious though what your understanding of the current versions of the IRA is and how they 'care' for Ireland?

Clearly you didn't read the article or you have no idea about geography I'm not sure which because if you read the first article you would have read that the CIRA was selling pipe bombs to crime gangs in the Republic of Ireland. Let me do the jigsaw for you, the two articles I then posted are about pipe bombs that were used by Dublin crime gangs (Thats in the Republic of Ireland) where did they get the pipe bombs? The CIRA, as posted in the first post. Now if you still are having comprehension issues let me know and I'll draw you a picture.
