As a slight aside, isn't it strange how since 9/11 the de facto "irish" (most
of them probably couldn't find Belfast on a map if it was lit up with flashing
neon lights) americans support for the IRA rather dwindled.

Funny how a dose of the reality of terrorism suddenly stops it being a trendy
cause to support. You could argue that if 9/11 had happened a couple of decades
ago a lot of yank funded deaths in northern ireland could have been prevented.
