Since my own ancestry is essentially made up of equal quarters of British, Scottish, Orange Irish and Green Irish, I have always been bothered by the strife in Ireland, particularly when the IRA and their variants behave like palestinian terrorists.

Philosophically, I can agree with the need to overthrow an oppressive government by attacking government and military installations with military or commando forces. But I have never seen a justification for terrorism, which by definition is aimed at the civilian populace to cause random casualties and terrorize innocent people. Terrorism is inherently evil. It's something the "good guys" just don't do.
