How come blowing up civilians was fine with most Americans when it was the 'good old boys from the old country' setting off bombs in British cities. How would America react to an organisation (lets call it NORAID) set up to supply money for dependents of Islamic terrorists killed?

Get serious. The USA suported the IRA for years. They are right in bed with the Irish Republican bullyboys. There's no way they'd hunt them down.
They only hunt down terrorists who attack their own civillians. Its called H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y.

You are so right, The USA had never heard of terrorism while they where filling the coffers of the IRA who where getting weaponry and explosive's from Libya, to kill innocent British children!!!, A this illegal arms traiding from Libya was known by the catholic sympathisers in the CIA and they allowed it to continue!. All of a sudden 911 and BANG! and terrorism is BAD all of a sudden.
What can you expect from the yanks. ALL their founding father's where terrorists and insurgents.
Beside's the IRA are now peaceful and not involved in any crimes anymore. How do I know?
Well that nice British Minister for Northern Ireland, Peter Hain (communist) said so, so it MUST be true. And home secretary and Blair pit-bull, John Reid (Stalinist communist) agrees with him.
If anything should wake up the sheeple to the FAKE left-right paridigm in politics it should be when stalinist and marxist communists are happy to work with extremist fascist capitalists.
Reid and Bush are as far away from each other on the political spectrum as you can get, yet they love each other.
The American Government has funded more extremist terrorists than any other nation in the last 50 years. Now all of a sudden, when it gets a slight nick (911) it panics and goes headlong into world war bloody three!!!
Well, they were late for the first two I suppose they wanted to make up for that by starting the third.
And before any retarted yanks start harping on about how they saved our bacon on those wars,Like bollocks you did! You waited until it was obvious who would win and then gate crashed the winners party!!!! You Yanky T.wats!!
Yanks are fake, thick p.ussies without a clue. YOU INVENTED AL_QUEDA you idiots!! now you complain about Terrorism???
You think 911 was bad??? Well there is a 911 happening every month in Iraq and yanks think the Iraqis should feel Grateful for it!!!
Stop pissing about with other peoples countries. You don't own the world and never ever will!
I know I'll get reported for this but I don't give a fu.ck, because I am telling the truth!!!

IRA terrorism was "cool" in the US in the 70s and 80s. They looked on it as Irish guys fighting the Brits to free their country, as they themselves had done in the War of Independence. Plus, it was 3,000 miles away and they had no problem making donations to help the IRA. 9/11 brought home how uncool terrorism is when it's on your doorstep and directed at your friends and family.
Unless the IRA declared their allegiance to Al Queda, I don't think Bush would bother with them. They've gone legit now, just a few fanatics in the Real IRA letting off firebombs in stores in Newry.

Irish terrorism is perfectly acceptable as they merely blew up innocent people in the aim of releasing themselves from the shackles of the evil British oppressors, as the Americans did before them.
Islamic terrorism is, however, entirely evil and should be treated with abhorrence by all and sundry.
P.S. In regard to the below post expressing the IRA's professed legitimacy; I find it quite amusing that is considered as such, when they are now thought to be the largest criminal organisation in Europe in terms of profits made from illegal activities.

I asked this a couple of days ago.
Who do you think pays for the IRA?
Also the Brits were collaborating with the LOyalists and killed a lot of innocent people in the process.
Good question, I'm still finding out more......

The IRA has always been an internal British affair. If Bush had any brains(questionable), he would stay out of it.

The position of the IRA is very different now from in the past and is certainly behaving more responsibly than some of the protestant groups.

It's never been fine with me. I was anti-IRA before it was cool. The reason we did nothing to them was that they had not attacked us.
We did help with intelligence support for GB in their fight against the IRA.
