Ethnically and politically I'd be sympathetic towards the Irish Catholics given Brit actions, but terrorist actions (bombing people, assasinating Dads in front of families) make one a terrorist. On 2nd thought, I'm just as much a Scots protestant by heritage. Oh well.

        I'm not sure that I think a British pullout would be a politically astute move. - Mary Anne - 2/23/2005 11:20:44 PM
        
        It may not be an astute move, but it would be a moral choice - Publius - 2/25/2005 3:26:39 AM
        
        The solution will have to be political. Enough has been done in Ireland in the name of "morality". :/ - Mary Anne - 2/25/2005 9:38:51 PM
