The reasons he doesn't mention the Loyalist terrorism are that 1. There isn't a lot of support for Loyalist terrorists in America, wheras there was/is for the IRA, and 2. he was responding specifically to a particularly heinous terrorist act committed by the Provos on Remembrance Sunday in 1987, the day this was filmed.
I'm curious why bono did not mention the horrific acts pof terrorism inflicted by the british/loyalist organizations in Ireland against people? Great song though
@logan1776 This was just recently after the Enniskillen bombing logan1776, I have encountered many Americans who blindly support the IRA. I am sure that Bono probably got accosted quite a bit by blind "Bomb lovers" I think that he knew that the Majority of the people in the audience would probably have a sympathetic view, GREAT SONG!
@coolmusicization well can I not love more bands than just U2 , I think U2 is one of world most amazing bands, 30stm is one of my favs 2, well I rather listen to older music such as U2
WHY EVERYBODY DON'T REALLY REALIZE THE BIGGEST CRISIS (EVER) COMING ! IT's WORST THAN WAR... PEOPLE NEED TO REACT AND MOVE THEIR ASS. FED UP WITH THIS FUCKING MURDERED WORLD.
i like that bono is not afraid to speak out about this he only said what most of us irish are thinking (those of us that are for peace,no moe fighting) even if it did alienate a few RA supporting irish americans.let them cry into their green beers.they have funded the bombing of this country for far too long
Dude is so cool in this video. Everything he does is so rock star perfect. Shakespere couldn't write better movements. The dude is pure cool-ness. Elvis, Bono, nobody. Morrison had a chance but he was too nutts
Does this sound like a man who would condone a song who's main verse is "Kill the Boer"? I think not, us South Africans need to wise up and stop being so paranoid!
where’s the glory in bombing a remembrance day parade of old age pensioners, their medals taken out and polished up for the day, where’s the glory in that? To leave the dying or crippled for life or dead under the rubble of a revolution that the majority of the people in my country don’t want. No more!
I’ve had enough of Irish Americans who haven’t been back to their country in 20 or 30 years come up to me & talk about the resistance, the revolution back home, & the glory of the revolution and the glory of dying for the revolution, fuck the revolution. They don’t talk about the glory of killing for the revolution. What’s the glory in taking a man from his bed & gunning him down in front of his wife and his children, where’s the glory in that?
Its about republicans wanting a united and free ireland, free from imperialism, others are descendents of colonial settlers, who want to keep the same 6 counties under british imperialsim
And Bono also supported the Iraq war and met george bush thrice, so hes hardly for peace is he, hes for occupation
@COMMUNISTGUERRILLA92 He met with George Bush to get more aid for Africa. He's actually one person who doesn't care about political parties. He cares about PEOPLE.
@RidiculousVoices if bono sold one pair of his sunglasses he could BUY africa. Why didnt he invest in development of the third world instead of setting up a multi billion dollar private equity firm. the guys a megalomaniac who writes some good songs, thats it, lets not get carried away now..
@buddhamaster69 Oh so $200 could buy Africa? That's funny since he devotes alot of his time to helping this country. No one is getting carried away but you since you clearly don't know any facts but rely on your bullshit opinions.
@buddhamaster69 You don't know where the **** you are talking about.. All the people like YOU are just seeing a rockstar with allot of money! This guy is doing something for other people and gives REAALLLYYY much money to make poverty history! soo please search for info before posting that bullshit!!

@COMMUNISTGUERRILLA92 You talk utter bollocks. You know nothing about the situation. The majoirty of people in Eire don't want a united Ireland and neither does the majoirty in northern ireland. These simple facts have escaped you pea sized brain.
One thing is true, the IRA would attempt to take over Eire as soon as it can by terrorism, it's a communist organisation which never wins anything when it comes to votes. it hides behind Sein Fein,as for British Imperialism, LMAO.
@eden1963 I think on this particular day Bono's patience finally ran out!....His mother was a Catholic....his father a Protestant!.....He just wanted Ireland to live in peace....But that day in Enniskilen, even the IRA's most loyal supporters knew a line had been crossed......I think it effectively finished the IRA to be honest......God bless Ireland and all its people...Great performance!
