Not in the eyes of the IRA. In the eyes of the IRA they are fighting for
the British to give back their land.

If they win, history will write that they were warriors and bravehearts...

Thats the way, just pick and chose who you want to be terrorists and who are
not.

With your logic, the Al Quida probably dont think they are terrorists
either. They are fighting to secure a fundamental muslim homeland in a
muslim world corrupted or stolen by the west.
What's wrong with that. Except that it does not fit in with American
interests.
Whereas because of the Irish lobby in the US, support for the British
fighting Irish terrorists who did the majority of their bombing on the
mainland NOT Ireland was halfhearted.

A clear case of double standards.
