IRA Comeback in 2010?

[Learning To Live]

Police in South Armagh have cordoned off a five-mile stretch of road after a member of the public found a beer keg with wires attached.

The Castleblaney Road is cordoned off from its junction with Rafferty's Corner in Keady.

Six homes have been evacuated while at least one business has also closed.

It is believed a bomb warning was received on Monday. Local residents reported hearing significant helicopter activity above Keady on Monday evening.

Army experts are at the scene while Irish police are assisting the PSNI because the alert is close to the border.

Police are believed to be proceeding with "extreme caution".

SDLP Keady councillor Thomas O'Hanlon said the alert had caused "major distress" for residents, who have been told it is unlikely they will be allowed to return this evening.

He added: "The Castleblaney Road is a key cross-border route and its closure is bad for business and bad for the people of Keady who suffered enough down through the years due to pointless violence and destruction by the Provisional IRA."

So, I personally support the IRA. However, I want to ask you people for your opinions. Is it possible for the IRA to be making their comeback, as the RIRA promised? If so, will the cause finally be successful?

It'd be ******** epic if they did, though I wonder how far to the left or right they would have moved since the last bout of activity.

Last I checked, Sinn Fein wants a socialist republic. Though Fein has really given themselves up as a source for republican expression.

That's really my point. Are they going to be fighting for an independent Ireland, an independent socialist Ireland, or an independent Catholic Ireland? I guess we'll see based on the next spate of press releases and terrorist demands.

I'm expecting that they'll stick with Catholicism. That was what brought the most support to their side beforehand.

It's a different world, ideological AND sectarian divides in the west have been significantly dampened.

lolno. I'm expecting Catholicism because with the collapse of the SU, there has been a general retrogression of consciousness and a widespread rejection of socialism as the answer to the world's problems. That, and religious tensions have been on the rise everywhere.

Also, it's 5:30, go to ******** bed.

I hope they do come back. I'd also like to see them as socialists, not just rabid Catholics, but whatever works for them...

I just hope they stick to military targets this time, leaving civies alone.

I mean, you kill more wasps by focusing on the wasps and not trying to kill the flies as well...

The IRA's always said that they don't target civilians. There are some civilians who've become touts or have been performing crimes against the community. The majority of civilian deaths that have been seemingly just fearmongering attempts are really attempts at damaging an important British stronghold. The more damage that the attacks do, the more the Brits have to pay, and the more of a burden North Ireland becomes on them. As soon as theres enough pressure, the Brits will drop North Ireland.

Yeah, but there are some situations in which they didn't do enough to prevent civilian deaths. Like when they targetted the pub frequented by Brits, they didn't make any effort to usher the Irish out before blowing it up. They just blew it up, killing the staff as well as the enemy.

Yes, that did happen several times. However, the Irish deaths in those included members of Loyalist paramilitaries. Given the fact that the UDF caused more deaths to us than the SAS did, the civilian casualties were almost acceptable. However, the bombings have a history of being less successful than the shootings or mortar attacks.

South Korea 2, Nigeria 2, 15 minutes left. No ******** way.

Catholic-Protestant tensions aren't flaring up, at least, not that I've heard of.

They're still there. It's also a nationalistic thing. Brits spitting on the idea of the tricolor, hating the Irish nationality. People have had it.
