Duh, Hoverman, if you try removing the parenthesis - i.e. (the brackets) - around what I said, it'll make a lot more sense.
E.g. You should have read it as "and one might say that it's with some satisfaction that the cash flow to the IRA Terrorist's has seemingly dried up ...." with the bit within the 'brackets' adding some value as to maybe why that has happened.
I any event hopefully it all means that we'll now see a lot less people being killed / maimed in the UK as a result of the decrease in the activities of the IRA; an organisation which has, as a matter of record, been funded from within the USA (amongst others) by various misguided (imho) patriots.
And there's a point, maybe the some of those Irish Americans who've funded the IRA's bombs would like to apologise to those within the UK for the deaths and deformities which they've caused ?!
Ultimately, what's written above in no way promotes any satisfaction with what happened during the events in America on Sept 11th, indeed far from it, e.g. just take a look a the numerous pictures / video of all those children & teenagers who kissed & waved their daddy / mummy goodbye on that fateful morning, never to see them again - it's heart-wrenching beyond words, and I wholeheartedly condemn it !
Nb. It's point of view which I'm expressing - not barbarity - and some of you (very worryingly) can't seem to tell the difference.
Ps. and for what it's worth, I don’t work for Go - duh !
