West Coast
Several things pi$$ed us off in Ireland. One was the definite, highly succesful American fundraising efforts for the IRA and the supply of American weapons was also a pi$$er.
The failure of American Courts to extradite murderers like Joe Dougherty to the UK (a NATO Ally) under the so called Political Offence Exception to Extradition was one that gripped our $hit in particular.
The other is the perpetual Hollywood myth of the "Troubles" which are just stomach churning when you analyse the slaughter carried out by indiscriminate bombings and cynical attempts to blame the Police when things got out of hand and too many victims were claimed even for the IRA propaganda machine to whitewash. (Enniskillen, Hyde Park Corner, Harrods, Omagh etc etc)
McGuinness and Adams only started to come to heel when the Clinton administration read their bumps for them after the first WTC, McVeigh etc and put them on the hunting licence if any further terror attacks were carried out in the UK.
