hmm. See your point entirely about the Irish Americans payrolling the IRA - hey Rumsfeld set up Al Quaeda let's not forget so perhaps we could ban him? - but I do think there is a difference between freedom fighters and terrorists. Freedom fighters do have an end, however distasteful their means of trying to achieve it, with terrorists the means are the end: i.e. they solely wish to achieve death and destruction.
