There is no need, the IRA of any type are extinct along with the UVF. There might be a handful of these hardliners left and it is now up to the Northern Ireland police to find them and bring to justice. They are not freedom fighters of any type now, just racketeers, thugs, murderers and thieves, giving protection through stealth. Their flow of money from the USA has almost expended and dried up, and even the American Irish that gave most of their money to their coffers has dried up. [I hope]

The soldiers in Northern Ireland are not there to fight the IRA, UVF, UDA, UDR, Irish or criminals. They are there for show, and to tell the Irish factions that if they don’t toe the line with the Good Friday Agreement, they can be deployed once more on the streets. They are a warning of intent until such times as Ireland sort out their differences.

People such as Paisley, McGuiness and Adams, are all hard liners and hard core leaders of fighting factions. They have no right to be in the positions they are in, because for Northern Ireland to move forward with the rest of the world they need peace keepers at the helm not killers of their own kind.

The British do not fight the IRA we protect ourselves from them, as if they were any other terrorist unit. Their cause is no more but they are too stupid to see that, and their supporters are hard line thugs and felons and in their pocket. I know from being over there that when the Provisional IRA had a rally most of the crowd had been told to be there or else. Nothing has changed because the same is still taking place, and will do until the Irish police arrest all the men in balaclavas and send them to prison. It is not down to the soldier now, as it is for the Northern Irish to prove they have come of age to be left on their own. Until Ireland becomes a whole once more the British presence in military form will always be there.

do you still advocate more military action against the Irish, until CIRA is destroyed (and UVF too)?
A quick answer....You cannot destroy political ideals with a show of force.
