I Find It Near Impossible To Believe That The US Government Didn't No About IRA Been A Terrorist Organisation. The Fact That They Have Been Rebelling Against The British For So Long Now And America Didn’t Realise Is Kind Of Weird.
Oh Well…

Do you know who sponsered it in the U.S., 'cause you can say U.S. sponsered, but it's more than likly a busness. I need more than we gave money out. 'Cause it might be a busness, CIA (if it's them, most people will never know here) or even the straight government. So do you know who is giving money.

Clinton did, personally and through the government, JFK did, New York City + Boston did, their the high profile donors. Other donors are major businesses + congressmen. We're talking alot of money...
Although in Americas defense, since September 11, donations have dropped drastically, but if the WTC thing hadnt gone down, i doubt the funding would've but for whatever reason their not giving money like they used too, which is a good thing.

Public and government are two different things, as I guess you can tell by most of the people here. I think I'm one of the more informed, but I didn't know shit. All I know is we support a United Ireland, and that we fund an orginzation that is working to do so. Now I'm assuming now we supported the IRA. I really didn't know we supported terriorist to Britain, as they are suppose to be the Mother Country for the big doggs here. I'm sure most people in the nation are not aware of who we support, but I would once assume since it's an allied country, that we would support a political orginzation. But hey, who knows, Reagon was Prez then, and after him Bush, and Clinton was to busy getting blown, and now Bush Jr. God help us all.

Thanks... I would figure the Kennedy's good Irish Catholics, and Clinton 'cause he was a JFK wannabe. If they knew what they supported, then they should be charged, as it was not the government, indivuals. Not tax money, Clinton money, well from tax money, damnit.
Don Seer:
whatever their reasons, they will be more careful now.
I have discovered the main reason the US doesnt like the IRA training the columbians is because columbia accounts for 90% of the cocaine trade into the US.
Also because, the US are supporting 'the other side' (the current official power there). this is so they can stop the drug trade into the US.
below is a list of the major IRA attacks on irish + english soil.
