The reason why the IRA bombs (or threatens to bomb) targets all over the UK is that they want to make the voting public so sick and tired of the status quo in NI that they'll demand a pull-out, which is just what the IRA wants.
Yes, I think you will also find that most people in mainland England don`t really have an opinion one way or the other, they vaguely feel that the British should pull out of NI because they want to stop the bombings, they also vaguely feel that would be giving in to "terrorists".
If the people in mainland England (and Scotland and Wales) are imprevious to rational arguments (like, the UK should get the fuck out of NI because they have no business being there :-) then perhaps that'll listen to terrorism. Perhaps not - such tactics seem to work better on some ethic groups than on others, the the English took worse shit from the Germans in WW II. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
