Maybe Irish-American punks aren't the best qualified to give their opinions on the irish situation?
To compare the IRA's campaign to the 9/11 attacks is so ignorant as to be offensive.
To say that they have put the peace process back years is unionist propaganda. Let us remember that the only reason there is a peace process to begin with is because of the war. The Brits were not listening to democratic means (and they were famously gunning down peaceful protests). Without the armed struggle, many catholics, myself included, would still be second class citizens in Belfast with shit jobs and no prospects.
