Martin Sheen proud of uncle's IRA past

[denuseri]

If the Americans had read about Irelands history instead of sending millions of $ to help them kill the English soldier, the troubles in Northern Ireland would have been over a long time before they were. The Irish also sided with the Nazis’ during the war and that never helped either. The English were never the Oppressors they were invited to over lord Ireland, it was the IRA that made it an issue. The Irish Americans with their $ with blood on, are still a bad taste in the mouths of the British Soldier, but we have not yet stooped low enough to terrorise them.



And so to do the British, but the IRA will never allow it, because the IRA will then be redundant.

Sorry Ive studied the history rather extensively and I think you will need a far better argument to convince me that the English/Irish issue or for that matter any of England's many international (anything outside of England proper such as with the Scots and Welsh and French and America etc etc) foibles all occur so sophistically one sided.

And why do you think Ireland sided with England's enemies I wonder?

Take your blinkers off denu, and as for your question, you would have to ask them. [They were enemies of the world] If you have been reading the History of UK and Ireland extensively, then you would still be reading it now. You have also missed the main point of my argument that the British were not the opressors.

It is also a fact that if it was not for the American $ in later years, the IRA would not have been able to continue buying weapons and explosives. So as to kill not only the British soldier, but also their own race and creed along with the innocent people on the manland of England. It was an easy thing to omit while reading the history of ireland, because if it was written by the Irish it would not be printed. Neither did it help when Irish/American senitors pledged their alegience to the cause in Ireland, and were in a small way a great help to the gathering money to aid the IRA bomb making killing machine. Next time you talk to a British soldier of any rank, please do ask him/her where the IRA got 80% of their war chest? Then preach to me how bad the British were to the Irish. There were a lot of soldiers over in Northern Ireland questioning the Special Relationship while i was there, but perhaps that is only there when it is needed by the Americans.
