I prefer to put my faith in the British army and democracy rather than the INLA or IRA if it's all the same with you but each to their own

The INLA and IRA deliberably set out to kill civilians as did the UVF they are nothing more than thugs and gangsters and also massive cowards planting bombs then hiding away executing or maiming defenceless people. Only a sympathiser of one of these groups would equalise them with a professional army from a democracy like Britain. What would these people substitute it with ? It does not bear thinking of !

Shooting unarmed innocent civilians is not the actions of a professional army. Many of the murderers in Northern Ireland wore British Army uniforms. Also the British version of democracy in N. Ireland is nothing short of comical.

So i assume you would prefer the British army had stayed at home leaving the republicans and unionists to let natural selection take its course ? There are many in England who would agree with you and I know a few guys who served in NI I can assure you not one of them wanted to be there it was the posting they dreaded. But they were brave men who did their duty and saved Northern Ireland from a bloodbath you might not appreciate that but most people do.

I am sure the majority of people in Northern Ireland don't have fond memories of the IRA and INLA either particularly the relatives of those murdered. As I say presumably you would have preferred the British army had stayed at home many English would agree with you. I remember clearly the mood in England at the height of the troubles no one wanted our troops to be there and saying we should leave them to it was a common saying. However such a situation would have resulted in complete civil war and a bloodbath only extremists wanted that.

Would you mind explaining why part of Ireland is not in the republic of Ireland but in UK? Why is that?
