American money donated to the Provisional IRA killed more people than that.
It dried up completely the day after the mudslums crashed their planes.
I'd say that's a pretty good result if you've got fed up with your mates getting killed by catholic terrorists.
Pray.. to the Fly Spagetti Monster? Or another imaginary friend.
So thousands of people dying is funny because Irish terrorists also kill people over in the UK? Sorry, there's no logic to be seen in that.
It was a figure of speech. Work that one out with your brain which seems to be just as mythological as god
No, not funny. Ironic that it took something to happen to the americans before they realised that funding terrorism isn't a good thing. Just remind me whose money it was that put the Taliban on the map..
Just in case you missed it the first twice.. ONCE THE AMERICANS STOPPED FUNDING THE IRA, THEY STOPPED KILLING PEOPLE. And it took 3,000 americans to get killed for this to happen.
Yes the US funded the Taliban. No, it isn't Ironic, because I really doubt that the average American would think the IRA were being funded with their money, or ever think funding terrorism is a good thing. Missed the first twice? Huh? I personally don't think either circumstances are ironic or justified
Somehow I don't think the average Irish American handing a few dollars to "the cause" would be of any impact, and if they were donating anything significant enough to have any effect then they sure as hell were not the average american that you seem to almost justify killing in the twin towers. Are you talking about arms deals between the IRA and Irish mafia style gangs? That wasn't the US funding terrorism, that was Irish mafia style gangs making money.
to whatever imaginary friend they think will stop me from stomping a mudhole in their asses
there are very few things on this rock that rile me up .. they just crossed that line
i have 2 nephews in Afghanistan.. both wounded in combat more than once .. my lovely niece is serving on board a carrier in the Gulf and my son in the US is 11 months away from being eligible to ship out ...all of them proudly serve and re-enlist
i, myself have felt the heat of combat on more than one occasion. I gave up an eye, live with a steel plate under most of my face and lost nearly 300 friends in doing so..i personally have seen the results of a truck bomb, a 40mm grenade, a .50 cal sniper rifle and a Ka-Bar to the kidney on a human body.. i HAVE ended lives and taken fathers away from their families...but i did it face to face at close range , not sweet talking some gullible douchebag into strapping on a boom-vest in order to meet 72 transvestite virgins and running into a market filled with women and children.. ...i have also tried to reassemble a jigsaw puzzle that used to be a childhood friend and have faced his young widow to tell her that the father of her children was blown to pieces by a cowardly act by Hezbollah and held her as she wailed
compare this to 90% of you internet warriors who think a rainy sunday is the end of the world...
3 words for ya ..
go fuck yourselves
Let me put it out there more plainly: A few dollars into a glass jar in every Irish bar is the US isn't enough to fund a serious group (maybe we have different opinions of "impact"). It's pretty obvious that it would take more than that, more than the average american can afford. A minority of an ethnic minority helping fund the IRA hardly means that the US was funding it
Rubbish. A few dollars buys an armalite. A few more a box of rounds. A few more a ship full of arms from Libya. A group doesn't need heaps of cash. It doesn't need heaps of organising. It doesn't need computers and whatnot. All it needs is a handful of guns and a cause. Once it has those, it can go shooting/kneecapping/maiming people. It can make bombs and blow people up.
These funds did come from a minority of an ethnic minority group within the US. The bombings on September the 11th stopped that.
It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.
Like I said, we obviously have different opinions of the word; "impact", but I see what you're saying and I can't deny that. All I'm saying is that you can't really categorize the US as not realizing its bad to fund terrorism just because (as you agreed with) a (counterproductive) minority helped fund the IRA.
