Its true that some Irish Americans funded the IRA,and it was called Noraid.The big fund raising events used to take place on the top floor of one of the twin towers in Manhattan.
Colonel Gadhaffi of Libya trained IRA members to become explosive experts on how to make bombs. They supplied them with guns ammunition and semtex explosives which they paid for with the donations from America.
The IRA also trained in Beirut in the Lebanon with Hezbollah terrorists. When you donate money to terrorist organisations no matter how good you think that cause may be, you end up with blood on your hands,like the thousands of Irish civilians including men,women,children and babies who were blown up by their bombs.Those who made donations at the fund raising functions should take note and think twice before throwing money into a bucket ever again.
Before you start saying the IRA didn’t train with other terrorist organisations you must first get the facts before you say otherwise.

I have been to Northern Ireland about 12 years ago as well as to the Republic of Ireland when some tensions still were going on.
A quite interesting situation which was sometimes even thrilling but the people there had to do with the arab terrorists as much as the Eskimos ever had to do with them.
The Irish are very religious and never would cooperate with arab terrorists.

Maybe you are referring to this:
"A man claiming to be a former member of the Real IRA says the group has established links with Lebanese paramilitary group Hezbollah that could lead to a new wave of terrorist attacks in Northern Ireland and mainland Britain using suicide bombers.
The man, who spoke to the Belfast News Letter on condition of anonymity for safety reasons, said that he would be able to give up 25 members of the dissident Republican Group if he were to receive a new identity from authorities.
The man left the RIRA because he did not want to see “suicide bombers in shopping centers.” He said that the representatives of both organizations had met in the South, and that Hezbollah was the conduit between the RIRA and Islamic terrorists."

The IRA is a very honourable political group as well as the UDA.
Both groups give a very strong contribution to their big country.
I just was listening to a few speeches of Ian Paisley who was defending the opinion of the British people and the British government and who seems to be their representative in Northern Ireland.
I could learn a lot about the British way of thinking by listening to Mr.Ian Paisley and the British pov.
But both groups are part of a government I think and never had to do anything with arab terrorists and they never had anything common with them.
Both groups had their very respectful reasons fotr their point of view.

fuck you tea bagger! the british occupation in ireland will end one day. It is you who are the terrorists and the tyrrants. Get the fuck out of our homeland and you won't have to fear for your lives. If the irish have to buy off of terrorists to get guns and bombs its no worse than people buying narcotics in record numbers off of the same people. that includes you british scum bags!

You whole question seems to be centered around your unproven premise that " the IRA are more or less alies with those responsible for 9/11". If one was to question that I'm not sure what there is to reply to.
What is the difference between terrorists and patriots?

That they trained in Lebanon I for example did not know.
Here in Germany we only heard very little about Northern Ireland and most people here know very few about it.
But very well known and widely published is the "Bloody Sunday" and most people first think of that "bloody Sunday" which was often documented by the German TV and therefore is well known.

Bloody Sunday was bad and the Parachute Regigiment lost the plot that day.The recent troubles in Northern Ireland was a terrible thing to watch,and all it acheived was a terrible loss of civilian life.The sad thing is it will start all over again and the youths over there are already starting to cause disturbances.

Why should they change? You know how long bias and hostilities can last.
Usually they will never end as long as there is first an action and then a reaction.
So, if it does not even work in Northern Ireland where people have the same language and culture, how should it work in Europe with different languages and different cultural backgrounds? So Northern Ireland is for me the very best example that Europe among certain countries never will work.
So, I am rather glad and content that my country and the French found a way to overcome the worst bias and I was often and long enough in the German-French brigade to see that it can work very fine if people on both sides have the will that it works.
So young people find out by their own experience that both cultures have their advantages.
