I know what you are referring to, of course. The US government didn't fund
IRA terrorists, Marie, unless Ted Kennedy had a secret slush fund that we
don't know about. To say the USA "financed" the IRA is therefore very
disengenuous of you. What happened in the 1970s and 1980s was a group of
private stoopid Irish-American citizens (not the American government) gave
money to the IRA.


Agree ... US-financed =/= American-financed.

A good point. I hope that you made that point a year ago, too,
distinguishing
German and French citizens and private enterprises from their governments.
