"Hollywood star Rose McGowan has sensationally admitted she would have joined the IRA if she had grown up in Belfast. My heart just broke for the cause. Violence is not to be played out daily and provide an answer to problems, but I understand it."
hey, thanks for the comment Rose... no doubt you've done a five minute history lesson on the IRA and feel you know all there is to know on the subject
why dont you tell all the victims - especially the children whose parents were killed by the IRA's bombs while taking their kids shopping on a Saturday afternoon - how much you understand their cause...
final comment...
if i was a famous hollywood star and said, "i would have joined al qaeda if i had grown up in Sudan. I understand their cause" there would be uproar... no doubt my u.s visa would be taken away as quickly as rose mcgowan is losing brain cells

Y'now the one. We have all pretty much the same potential at birth and that the environment, both physical, emotional and spiritual all will play their part as to how well you eventually grow up, and for some that could easily quite be being a terrorist.

It takes a bit more sense than is common to realize and admit that we are all products of our circumstances and face limited choices. In Belfast, the choice is one of alignment with an oppressive foreign government or those willing to engage in violence in the name of liberation. No one is innocent; choose your manner of guilt and complicity in senseless violence.

I was born on a Dublin street where the Loyal drums did beat
And the loving English feet walked all over us,
And every single night when me father'd come home tight
He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chorus:
(chorus) Oh, come out you black and tans,
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away,
From the green and lovely lanes in Killeshandra.
Come tell us how you slew
Them ol' Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows,
How you bravely faced each one
With your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them damn natives to their marrow.
[chorus]
Come let us hear you tell
How you slandered great Parnell,
When you thought him well and truly persecuted,
Where are the sneers and jeers
That you bravely let us hear
When our heroes of sixteen were executed.
[chorus]
The day is coming fast
And the time is here at last,
When each yeoman will be cast aside before us,
And if there be a need
Sure my kids wil sing, "Godspeed!"
With a bar or two of Stephen Behan's chorus
[chorus]
