@MarchToFreedom If U.S. soldiers ambushed & killed 8 insurgents on the same land that they grew up in, lived, & owned would it be murder or did the U.S. soldiers have the right to invade, occupy, & burn down villages of human beings defending their lives, land, & home.... One mans terrorist is another mans Freedom Fighter. Britain labeled George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, & Samuel Adams Terrorist, because they dared to oppose the crown. Hitler did the same to his enemies

The IRA call the ambush murder....they're right in the sense that eight men were shot to death by the SAS

But were those eight men not on their way to murder people themselves?

were they not carrying a bomb and automatic rifles for a purpose?

I sympathise with the republican cause but the double standards bug me.

@TheARMAProductions Would be great if able to put differences aside.Things have improved significantly but will take another generation or 2 i think for it to fully settle down.Hatred is passed on to the kids from those who were effected alot by the troubles.As for the EU fully agree with you.They were great for us b4 but ireland is now owned by the EU.Germany and France have 2 much power.At least britain had the sense not to join the single currency.Ireland cant devalue atm to help the exports

@TheARMAProductions maybe thats true but its was hardly Irelands problem if the UK had troops all over the world.Have to take advantage of certain situations though i believe the UK could have sent over more troops here had they wanted to.The economy is everyones priority including republican poeple here besides a couple of 100 idiots who still believe they can get britain out using force etc.

@phantomsuccour So,why dont u post that on English pages.This is about Northern Ireland not England.And if you are from NI and you love the queen so much why dont you move to her country.You do realise 98% of british people couldnt give a fuck about NI...NI has cost the british tax payer a fortune over the last 50 years.They dont want NI,in fact nowadays not many do...
