Money certainly does talk and it talks louder than respect for human life - the root of all evil indeed.

The IRA did murder civilians over the years as did the Loyalist paramilitaries on the other side. Murders should never be condoned or justified, which ever side they were on. Nobody is suggesting the IRA were angels but if we are going to call them evil murderers then we must also accept that both sides had blood on their hands and all of that has been recorded in history.
We too suffered the bombings in the UK. We too suffered the loss of loved ones; be them civilians or British soldiers in NI. We had to bury our dead just as Ireland had to.
We also need to include the U.S government for funding the IRA. Kennedy, Nixon, Carter and Reagan all had strong ancestral heritage with Ireland and they certainly didn't like the way the Catholics were being treated in the North. Does that make Nixon, Carter, Kennedy and Reagan terrorists? And what about Blair who did so much to bring about a peace treaty in NI. Was he a terrorist for joining forces with the U.S lie and helped bring about a war that killed hundreds and thousands of innocents. Should we call Cameron and May terrorists for funding the Saudi's who in turn fund ISIS and who also support and fund the Israeli apartheid?
