Did you intend your post to be an endorsement of NI paramilitaries? I didn't read it like that, but everyone else seems to be doing a round of IRA whataboutism in response.
I was linking to a loyalist paramilitary. Many Americans have a very strange view of Northern Ireland, seem to think that one bunch of terrorists are lovely people and the other bunch don't exist
That's what I thought; you were merely pointing out the existence of paramilitary groups on the loyalist side, in addition to the more familiar (to those in the US) IRA.
