Objection........
You are talking about the IRA as if it was only formed 25 years ago.
You need to get a grip on history........
And Analise the facts rather than emptily boast about them........

The IRA's initial objective was to fight British rule until all the republic was unified.....
And at the time they declared this (1919) ,Britain,thanks to the Act Of Union(1/1/1801)practically owned ALL of Ireland.
An Irish rebellion in 1778 was ruthlessly quashed by the British and when William Pitt imposed the Act Of Union.......
Ireland didn't even have its own Parliament.
Hence the formation of the IRA which fought a 2 year guerrilla war.
And by the end of it in 1922 it was the arrogant British who had to concede the South Of Ireland(The Anglo-Irish treaty).
Sure.......in true imperialistic fashion Britain still dictated the terms.....and purposefully left ambiguous constitutional bonds (controlling Southern Ireland's foreign affairs) and unidentified potentials for border changes with Northern Ireland.....
Which petrified the pro-British Protestant North and enraged the harder core elements of the IRA who wanted Northern Ireland to be cleansed of British Influence aswell.
And hence the subsequent Irish civil war.

But at the end of the day.
They may never get Northern Ireland.....But the IRA effectively won 2/3rds Of Ireland for the Irish......
A RELATIVE victory I would say.....
Try telling anyone from Southern Ireland differently.......
Far more than Al-Quida will ever achieve for the "Muslim World" me thinks.........

As for the Tamil Tigers........
You forgot to mention TWO of the Tamil Tigers most celebrated victims...
The President of Sri Lanka Ranasinghe Premadasa(1993) no-less..... and the former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi(1991)..........
They have also killed other high profile politicians and government troops aswell as innocent by-standers.....
Thats not to condone what they have done......
Merely to illustrate........
They have a perceived enemy......
They hit them WHERE IT HURTS.....
Hence the 2002 truce.......
More than Al-Quida will ever get..........

As for the Zionist terror effort.........
Golly Objection........
Do you think that Irgun and Stern would really have gone to the lengths they did IF THEY NEVER thought they would achieve victory........
Thus what made them think they could achieve victory....
Thats right.......
You provided the answer........
To quote the Honorable Objection
"Support from Jewish interests elsewhere, especially in the USA. The British Empire was already a terminally decayed lame duck"

So from the Al-Quida perspective......
Which Muslim country with military power was going to help them when the U.S(hardly a lame duck,eh?) retaliated for 9/11?
Saudi Arabia?
Indonesia?
The UAE.
Pakistan?
Turkey?
Who are all these countries friends of Objection?
Well come on then......
Spit it out.....

I'm Still searching for the 9/11 hijacker motive.........
But I will never expect to get it from you.
