The Irish Republican Army

I don't think the IRA are terrorists. I agree with the idea of Ireland SHOULD be ran by the Irish and NOT the British. I think Ireland should still be apart of the British Isles but ran by the Irish, sort of like how Puerto Rico and the US are, where they have the same rights and what not but ran by there people.

The IRA are straight out gangsters and terrorists. They haven't had any legitimacy since the Irish Republic was founded. Ulster is historically a separate country and chose - democratically - to remain in the UK. The IRA wouldn't accept that and triggered the Irish Civil War. Since losing that war, they've spent the last few decades degenerating into a squalid bunch of protection racketeers preying mostly on Catholics, with a political branch that promotes a kind of watered down national socialism.
